I must admit, I went to see it purely because of the gorgeous cast, namely Angelina Jolie and Nick Cage, plus there are cool fast cars in it that I know darn well I will never get to drive!
The storyline is basically about a kid who gets busted on a project to nick off with 50 cars. His boss threatens to kill him, but his retired car thief brother (Cage) reluctantly comes back to the trade to finish off the project his brother started.
So...
He gathers a team with his brother, goes out to 'boost' (steal) the 50 gorgeous cars,
But...
They didn't quite make the 50th car in time so they fail.
Did they get thrown into jail? Nope. The cop let him (Nick Cage) off as he saved his life and because he did it to save his brother.
Good movie? It was okay. Not too bad, but not too good either.
Should I see it? Yes, but don't blame me if you don't like it.
