A Bit Like Point Break, Only Duller, And With Less Water

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2004)

I just saw this movie.
It borrows a great deal from Point Break - heists, bit of the old Zen stuff, misplaced bad guys identity, botched raid.
But the biggest "homage"?
Paul Walker's undercover cop speaks with the same accent and diction as Keanu Reeve's Johnny Utah.
Close your eyes and listen and you could be hearing the same guy!
And of course, despite the ethnic mix in reality of souped-up import car culture, there are hardly any Asians in this movie except as background. The one main Asian character turns out be a homicidal maniac.
