Not an Oscar winner, but good fun nevertheless!

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2002)

I was primed by two people who had already been to see this film before I watched it. One told me it was "Point Break" with cars, the other said it was a boy racers dream. But after seeing the trailor I had to go.

Yes, no supirse, it was Point Break with cars. And yes the story line left a little to be desired. And yes the acting isn't genius. However, despite what others might say, unless you happen to be the most anal film critic in the world or hate cars, you will enjoy this film. It's good fun. To me it sits in the same class as films such as "Gone in 60 seconds", "Days of Thunder" et al. The story isn't the most important aspect. It's a thrill ride, an experience where the atmosphere and lifestyle captured in the movie is the important thing. This is achieved by the overall look of the film. The storyline drops to a third place behind the cars and the look of the thing.
I went away with a feelgood factor wanting to get into a Nissan Skyline and go for a drive!
Like I said, no Shakespeare here, but good fun.
