Ordinary-Person oriented-each ticket with a complimentary grain of salt

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2004)

This film was a strategically marketed film with a simple idea in mind-sell one ticket to every 18-24 year old male in America. It adapted a simple idea of an "underground," a sub-culture which the majority of persons are not entirely aware of. That was a good idea in and of itself. Allowing the average person a glimpse into an unknown, yet fascinating, world makes for excellent marketing. The more guns, drugs, and cops, the better.
Neil Moritz chose to not get picky with details. Well done. Rather, he saw the movie through the demographic's eye. For the most part, we don;t care about cheesy effects and run-ons, as long as the movie keeps it's promise: lots of action with few details. It did.
For the car-fanatics out there, myself included, there's a bakers dozen and a half of errors. Who cares? It was good fun if you took it lightly and checked your automotivelly superior attitude at the door. If not, you ended up like most of the posters. Caught up in arrogance.
As a whole, this was definitely not Oscar-worthy. Well orchestrated action sequences (it IS Mic Rodgers) and a semi-plausible plot make this a joy to those who accept it for what it is; a fun movie.
7.5/10
