BAD SCRIPT, WORSE ACTING, TOP MOVIE.
If you've seen the film, you'll know that there's little more I have to add. If you haven't, you probably won't be surprised. A movie involving lots of fast (and expensive) cars was never going to be very deep, with probably little money left over for decent actors or scriptwriters after paying for the cars and stuntmen.
The film sets out to be a commercial, high octane (excuse the pun), loud and colourful one, and it is, and is no more. It's not SUPPOSED to have any sort of intellectual appeal; appeal is based on excitement. Whether or not this is any bad thing is up to the viewer, but personally, I enjoyed switching my brain off for an hour and a half and enjoying some good-old-fashioned stupid excitement. 7/10
