B-Movie Mania, baby!

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2001)

Teen angst and illegal street racing. Not exactly a match made in heaven, but here it works, due to amazing car stunts, and some interesting ideas. A group of thieves in robbing trucks after catching them in suped-up race-ready street model cars, and an undercover cop is on the case to try to find the crooks before they end up dead. The emphasis of the movie however is racing scenes and amazing car stunts, of which there are quite a few. These are some nice sequences, and ultimately save what would otherwise be a piece of crap and make you believe the movie wasn't that bad. Performances are all right; none of these guys are going after the Oscar, but overall, its not that bad. Especially enjoyable was the absolutely luscious Jordana Brewster("The Faculty") as the obligatory love interest. Bottom Line: If you like cars and action, you'll probably get enough out of this flick to enjoy it. Just don't expect a whole lot of extras.
