I run a cinema in Basingstoke and in my spare time I fly kites for a hobby. The web site I set up is listed as my homepage and I had great fun putting it together. I enjoy putting forward my own opinions so I think Ciao is great.

So, you’re a cop undercover trying to get into the world of street racing. You have a $80,000 car to help so what’s the first thing you do. That’s right go up against the top street racer using the car as your stake. Then fall for his sister to complicate matters even further.
This is fairly low brow stuff with a fairly limited plot line and lots of high-octane car racing action. If that sounds like your sort of thing and your happy to go to the movies with the brain firmly in neutral then go for it. If not forget it, we have after all seen this plot before. Point Break covers the same ground with surfers and surfing as the backdrop but does it better.
To be honest there really if not much more to say about this movie nothing about it was really good but there again nothing sucked. It is what it is so just take it or leave it. The acting is OK, nothing special but nothing really bad either. The cars were magnificent and if you like fast cars and talk of nitrous oxide this will be right up your street. I don’t but I quite enjoyed the movie anyway as apparantly did the US of A where it took bucket loads of cash.
So to sum up, fast cars, fast action and good looking chicks – if that sounds like heaven then you know where to find it.
