Point Break on wheels

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2005)

Bian O'Conner (Paul Walker) is an undercover cop who infiltrates a street gang that stages illegal street races in order to find out who's stealing expensive electronic equipment. He befriends the leader of said gang, Domenic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and finds himself falling for Dom's younger sister, Mia. The racing aspect of the film is pretty thrilling granted, but the story aspect of the film is way too derivative of 1991's "Point Break", and this film can't help but suffers greatly from the comparison.
