Better than average summer action flick

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2001)

Reading some of the reviews posted on the site, it seems some people were expecting too much from this movie. I went to see this expecting good race and action scenes and not much else, and it delivered. I didn't go in expecting Academy Award material, and anyone who saw the previews should've done the same. I thought some of the acting left something to be desired, but it was adequate for the movie. The action sequences were definitely the highlight of the movie, especially the street racing scenes. I didn't mind the plot holes or the paint-by-numbers romance side plot, I wanted action and I got it. I liked it so much I saw it again a few days later. Lighten up and take this movie for what it is.
