A lemon

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 2002)

I don't think this movie is worth much at all. Too many stupid scenes, too much bad acting, too much to appeal to a 15 year old and no one else. None of it was clever, interesting, realistic or worthwhile.

The actors all have exactly one expression - anger - and they never stray far from that. I think they all took the second half of the title too seriously. Why are they furious anyway? What do they have to be furious about?
Paul Walker literally sleepwalks through the entire movie and if Vin Diesel is the new action hero for the new generation, I want a recount. I liked Jordana Brewster a lot in "The Faculty" and was looking forward to seeing her in this, but she's wasted. Michelle Rodriguez is cementing her future as a tough girl doing movies like this - wasn't she in that female boxing movie too?
The only positive thing I can say is that the movie seems to have some respect for its audience. By being rated PG-13, at least the people who would most benefit (!) from seeing this garbage would be allowed in.

Racing scenes are no great achievement, either. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Makes "Driven" seem like its not the most recent disaster on wheels - at least you could laugh at that one. 1/10.
