Entertaining rip-off

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2005)

I saw this movie yesterday and quite enjoyed it. It is a film with a lot of action and high-speed driving (no surprise there). After seeing it I realized that I had seen it before. Actually the story is a little too much like Point Break, but with cars: Cop infiltrates a gang, falls in love with a girl in the gang, becomes surprised that the gang is actually the 'bad guys' he is looking for, chases the 'bad guys', lets the biggest bad guy free. Even so, the film is entertaining and is worth seeing, if only for the awesome car driving. It could be interesting to compare this movie with the sequel. I actually saw the sequel before and I think it is at least as good.
