So Bad It Makes Plan 9 From Outer Space Look Like Shakespeare
Added 1/21/2010
The mind reals, at least my mind does, at how awful this film is. I honestly don't have enough adjectives to properly describe it's awfulness. Maybe the worst, most repulsive film I have ever seen. Still, I'll try to define some of the highlights that make this film so dreadful: the lack of anything resembling acting ability by any of the cast (you'll laugh hysterically at the scene with a supposed ex-war vet freaking out over the death of his brother in a vain attempt at portraying emotion), a script written on a couple of bar room napkins after many drinks, a plot so convoluted and thin as to be non-existent, a reprehensible display of obscene excess (cuts particularly deep now due to a financial crisis caused by such excesses), camera work handled by someone with ADD as the guy doesn't hold the camera still for more than 10 seconds at a time, somehow manages to make the race scenes unexciting which is not good considering the whole point of the movie is fast cars being raced by complete idiots, Eddie Griffin. Yes, this no talent hack gets special mention, not just because of what a no talent hack he is, but because this idiot crashed a $1.8 million Enzo Ferrari into a wall during the filming of this movie. The scene is not in the movie of course, but it's all over youtube. You will cringe as you watch the beautiful, rare piece of machinery smashed into a wall by this buffoon. From what I could see in the video he wasn't even racing the car, he just simply lost control while driving it (very slowly) around a race track by himself!?
You might be asking yourself why I would watch a film with no redeeming qualities, and the answer is twofold; one it was on cable tv so it was essentially free, and two, I had read about how this was one of the worst reviewed films ever on Rotten Tomatoes (a movie review site for those who don't know), so I wanted to see how bad it really was. Nothing could have prepared me for this film, not even unlimited quantities of booze or prescription drugs (or both at the same time). This film doesn't even work as a drinking game where you take a shot for every ridiculous line of dialog or something like that, because you would just have to take shot after shot continuously. Although getting alcohol poisoning and getting your stomach pumped at the hospital would probably be less painful than watching this movie, seriously! This movie will give me nightmares for years to come in a way no horror movie has ever been able to.

A gorgeous young automobile fanatic--and front to the hottest unsigned band on the West coast--finds herself caught up in illegal drag-racing competitions organized for the pleasure of a bunch of bored billionaires. A great movie for people are who into Cars and girls. This is captivating for the younger, out going audience so I wouldn't expect any book club members to undersatnd the action.

Not anywhere near as bad as Fastlane (2009)

This is not anywhere near as bad as Fastlane Fast Lane but then it's not anywhere near as good as the first The Fast & the Furious either. The acting is wooden but watchable again not as bad as Fastlane. The cars are good and it's nice to see proper muscle car classics and super cars getting properley raced and crashed. View it as a good DTV movie and you'll be OK with it.
The filming is not bad and the sound is quite good.
Worth a watch if you know your super cars & muscle cars but don't pay much or rent it.

Love the cars but ......

Love the cars but not this movie. Even Vin Diesel would not star in this one. Just because you got fast cars, sexy women and music does not complete the formula for a good movie. RENT it, don't buy. Give it as a gift to your stoned friends.

This movie is a sign of the end times!
Added 3/13/2009
This movie is just so bad it's scary. The only interesting part of the movie is the intro, then after that it is all down hill. I guess they tried to balance out bad acting and a poor plot with models and fast cars. Well let me say this might have been a good movie had no one opened their mouth. Figuring out the plot is worse that Chinese water torture. It's really like 2 bad movies mashed into one, to create one big horrible ball of doodoo. It's like a bad car movie, and some cheesy mobster movie all rolled into 1. The only thing worth watching in this film are the cars, and even they show them horribly. I've seen better racing scenes in a video game. This movie is so bad that I think it ruined everyones career that was in it. I haven't seen or heard from anyone that was in this film. Even Eddie Griffins career is down the tubes. This movie is so horendous that copies of it should be sent to Iraq to help fight the war on terror. I remember when I went to rent this movie, and (thank God that I rented it!) the clerk girl told me that it was bad. I mean I've rented hundreds of movies, and this is the first time a movie was so bad they cared enough to tell me, that right there scared me. This Movie should never be brought, rented, or watched for that matter. Do yourself and all of humanity a favor and never watch this movie, matter of fact if you ever by chance run into it at a video store, or local DVD outlet DESTROY IT! SMASH IT! OBLITERATE IT! FOR THE SAKE AND FUTURE OF ALL MANKIND!
