shanecostantini I love this movie. Everything about it was awesome

trickshottrollez Honestly, Ive watched this a couple times now and it still is pretty good to watch. You can tell many of the reviewers never played the game series at all, when a majority of the negative reviews use "Extremely Unrealistic" and "Too many police chases" as a negative argument. If you are looking for a reviewer who has played through every game in the series, then read this.To be honest, when I first saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be a typical cash grab film based on a popular game series. After watching it, I was very happy. They managed to add in everything that was enjoyable within the games. Fast cars, High speed police chases and good looking girls (Yes I think tthat Julia is on par with Nikki, Mia and Rachel). I don't care what anyone says, The characters are likeable but not fuly developed, which is understandable as its based on a video game, the humour is decent and the plot is enjoyable in my eyes. The only thing I wanted from the feel were little things that would have given the film a more NFS feeling, Such as the iconic chase musicand more ephasis on building and tuning the car at the start (Not spoiling make/model).Overall, The movie is solid.I have watched it multiple times and I will keep watching it in the future as it is better than what I originally expected it to be.

huggibear And I'm a woman! I watched it alone and sweat was coming out of my pores the entire time. I know about Mustangs. I know about Bugattis. I didn't know about many of the different types of fast cars though. That Bugatti was sweet. All I want to say after watching this movie is....'This is for Pete' and I'll add to it for him.....'You Dirty Rotten Scoundrel!'....Justice SERVED!! Enjoy the ride, PHEW! It's worth it!

Tweekums Tobey Marshall owns a garage on Mount Kisco, New York where he tunes high performance cars with his friends. He isn't too pleased when Dino Brewster, a rival from his racing days, turns up but he has an interesting offer; he wants Tobey to repair a Ford Shelby Mustang that he wants to sell for up to three million dollars; a quarter of which would go to Tobey. After the work is completed Tobey demonstrates just how fast the car is; this impresses car buyer Julia Maddon but not Dino as he thought he should test drive the car. Dino challenges Tobey to a street race to find out who is really the fastest driver, they are joined by Tobey's friend Pete and race in three Koenigsegg Agera R supercars. Tobey is set to win as Pete is preventing Gino from overtaking, Gino rams him causing the car to flip off the road and explode. Gino leaves the scene leaving Pete to go to jail for involuntary manslaughter.Two years later Tobey is released and wants revenge… by beating him in the 'De Leon'; an illegal supercar race where the victor gets to keep all of the cars. If he is to participate he will have to have to get a car, get a race invitation and get to California in under forty eight hours. He gets the car when Julia turns up in the Shelby Mustang. She insists on going with him and they quickly set off with Tobey's friend Benny flying overhead to check on traffic. Along the way they pick up friends Joe and Finn who drive their support vehicle. Just getting to California will be a problem; Dino has offered his rare Lamborghini to anybody who stops Tobey and they also have to stay ahead of the police. There problems are far from over when they get to California.I had heard that this film was a bit rubbish. To be honest that is a bit unfair; sure it isn't going to win any Oscars and the plot is very predictable but when it comes to the action it really delivers. Even if, like me, you aren't a car expert you can see that the cars that feature are something special. The races are exciting and the crashes are spectacular… and realistic rather than the CGI enhanced fake action we see in so many films these days. The cast do a solid enough job; notably Aaron Paul as Tobey and Imogen Poots as Julia. Dominic Cooper's Gino is a bit of a pantomime villain but that isn't out of place in a film such as this; similarly Michael Keaton's characters, race organiser 'Monarch' is over-the-top and a bit bizarre but still entertaining. Overall I'd say I enjoyed this far more than I expected; the story might be predictable but the execution kept me gripped from start to finish; I'd certainly recommend it to fans of the genre.
