This film really sucked!
What is it with some American car films. The car appears to be going fast. Bits are flying off, the car computers going bonkers WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Then the camera pans down to the speedo and they are doing 140mph. Oh come on please. My standard Peugeot 205 1.9 Gti was capable of doing that. It kind of reminded me of the TV show “Knightrider” when Hasselhoff was doing an incredible speed of 60mph.
Since when do bits fly off a car. The only thing that can happen is the engine just going. Why do they keep going on about NOS. It’s not such a big deal. Toyota Supras are more likely to have an adjustable gauge for the turbo. NOS would destroy the engine after a few blasts.
I really thought that the cars looked rather sad too. I mean, what’s with the stickers and go faster stripes on the sides of these cars. All they needed was some furry dice, nodding dog and the KEV + TRACY sun blind.
The plot was stupid also. How could stealing a lorry load of DVD players and digital cameras really be able to fund all the expensive supped-up cars. They would be lucky to get a few quid down the pub for them.
As a lot of people have mentioned, it’s almost the same storyline as Point Break (which was a better film). I would agree.
This is also another American film that has Triad Chinese Americans on motorcycles toting machine guns. Not very original is it.
As well as Point Break. This film has copied it self from many Hong Kong films such as Legend of Speed and Legend of Speed II. Only these films had a better plot and better cars.
BASIC PLOT: A rookie cop goes undercover posing as a race team member in order to uncover a criminal gang.
OK, OK, enough negativity. I’m off to drive my Robin Reliant down to Brighton for some real action. Yeah!

Thanks for the modem tip Milleniben. Sorry for sounding so dumb. I don't actulally own a PS2, but a friend does. He told me that his does not have one. I guess that I can make him look stupid now. Thanks.

Good op. my friend really liked this film and I thought it was rubbish. By the way the PS2 does have a built in modem, if you look at the front there's a blue panel for a phone lead. Hope that helps! Ben
Advantages: Back to the cruising scene with great cars, great sound systems and great girls. Action packed Disadvantages: It's not as good as Fast and Furious, poor acting, unrealistic story
Advantages: Plenty of action, nice effects, Vin Diesel, no need to think too hard. Disadvantages: Not really any, unless you're expecting something that it's not.
