Don't expect too much but incredible speed and you won't be disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2002)

I must confess to actually reather enjoying the film; whilst there was little in the way of plot, the actors are no better or worse than the majority of the Hollywood lot these days. The cars were awesome (as the owner of a MKIII Supra I enjoyed that aspect) and the sound and ethos was very immersive, but there wasn't a huge amount of intelligent dialogue. The actors weren't bad - the characters just weren't overly deep.
That said, ask yourself why you watched the film. Was it for the undercover cop story, admittedly done a thousand times? Or was it to see THOSE CARS move? I think that that last, as the films focus, was done incredibly well, and the actors did a good job of being the varied and individual if somewhat cliched drivers, which is essentially what they were there for. I liked the story, but then I tend to like almost all stories, I'm very open minded.
This leaves me to say one thing...I'm not THAT much of a car person, but after seeing this...I WANT MY CAR TO DO THAT!
