Rob Cohen on NOS

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2001)

Spoiler Alert
Funny how Hollywood loves to take a slice of underground life and twist it to their own liking. The whole scene of import(asian) streetcar racing has quite a bit of asian influence in its origins and yet in this film the asians are yet again stereotyped into the typical gangster wimps. I'm glad the scene has crossed over into all racial groups but this film p***ed me off for demeaning asians as being gangsters and having money,guns and being wimps. I think I'm not the only one thinking that there was supposed to be a showdown with Johnny Tran and Dominic Toretto(Vin Diesel) and yet they kill Johhny off in a lame motorcycle chase scene. The story....what story? People try to compare this to Point Break but there is no Gary Busey as a partner and Paul Walker as a detective(?) is no Keanu Reeves by a long stretch. Rob Cohen have some balls and make a real, unbiased film and not just to cater the teenagers! Whitewashed trash.
