It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blah is all I can say about this "Movie". As both a car lover and a movie fan this is the worst movie I have ever seen.Here are some of the many many flaws in this movie.Acting:There had to be every corny line in this movie and the "Actors" were as believable as a Leprichaun That Poops Lucky Charms. These "Actors" (if you can call them that) sound like they came from voicing children's cartoons.Cars: Man get it right!!!! I saw the green car go from a Mazda RX-7 (even wrongly called a MX-5) to a Nissan 250SX to a Nissan Silvia S15 in the course of 3 shots. Also in this Movie a Nissan GTR ($85K) is said to have the same Value (80K on both cars) as a 370Z (31K.The car crashes were done in terrible terrible graphics but Iv'e seen better 3d graphics as a kid in 1995 on the show Reboot. Every Xbox/PS2/PS1 video game I've played has had better graphic than that. This is 2011 not 1990 Whoever wrote, Drected and edited this movie should be smacked and never allowed to do anything movie related again AND IF YOU LIKE STREET RACING CAR MOVIES DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. STICK TO FAST AND FURIOUS. IT'LL MAKE YOU CRY!!!!!

So if a bunch of College film students, got drunk, watched Fast and Furious, then pooled together their remaining beer money to make a movie, this would be the result. My kid's 4th grade play had better acting. And I'm pretty sure that all the car knowledge used in this movie was definitely obtained by watching a hodge-podge of car flicks and just saying what they could remember. The 30 year old kids with the 40 year old stripper for a Mom was pretty interesting too......I enjoyed the Sega Genesis quality computer graphics used for the races and crashes, and learned that a Nissan can be rolled several times, and when you pick it up from the impound, it just has some dents on the side.I cannot begin to tell you all of the things said in this movie that are ridiculous, but I will give you my favorite moment......The hotshot female mechanic, and her two lackeys close the hood on a custom MX5/RX7/240 car, (dunno how to explain that one, I think it's a transformer...) and the as the two lackeys work the mystery of hood pins, she actually tells the amazing driver that "...these hold it down so it doesn't pop up."

I am going to defend this movie; at least a little bit. It's yet another lower budget movie based on street racing, and lets face it no true gear head is ever happy with movies like this. Period. Knowing that this movie was a decent movie for the time, would i recommend you go out of your way to watch it? No, but if you have spare time go a head.Now to cover some of the things other reviewers have said...1. The Nissan in the movie was a 370z; not a 350z.2. The 370z costs $42,000 roughly in the form that it was in for the movie.3. The $90,000 car was the Nissan GT-R, not the 370z.4. They have always made the GT-R both left and right hand drive so having it as such is valid for whomever complained.Now, we all know movies are not true. The explosions we see are over done for special effects in action movies so why does it surprise you they stretch the truth for a car movie.

I'm not going to start out by saying this was the worst movie ever, the acting really wasn't horrible and the main characters were pretty good (except for the fact that the actor who played the cop was horrible).Honestly, one of the only reasons I am rating this movie a 3 is because the mistakes were quite fixable. They called cars random names (The Mazda RX-7 became a MX-5, then a MK-7...) I understand that budgets aren't always a blank check, but a good script and proper wording isn't something you need to pay for. In addition, the switching of cars got very annoying (not the names but the actual cars). While racing in the opening scene the Nissan 370Z turned into a completely different car, and when it was in the shop near the conclusion of the film it became one of the Infiniti G35s that was at the track at the beginning of the movie.The special effects were quite poor; you could tell when a car was a computer rendering and when it was an actual car being filmed. And in addition, it was quite obvious that while filming the cars were driving pretty slowly, although I will say that the post-production work to make the cars look like they were speeding wasn't terrible. Plus, living in Los Angeles, I know that there is no time during the day (or night) where there are absolutely no cars on the streets which were filmed, something that was implied and shown in portions of the racing scenes.Also, most likely the most obvious flaw with the movie was the fact that the director tried playing it off that a stock Nissan 370Z could even come close to racing a stock Nissan GT-R (Skyline). The GT-R is legitimately the faster, better, stronger version of the Z. It would be like racing a BMW 328i against a BMW M3 or a Porsche Carrera against a Porche GT3-RS... one car is meant to be better than the other(especially when the two cars are made by the same company).The movie would have honestly been a little bit more believable if the main character raced a super-modded older 'rice-rocket' as they call it against the GT-R (even though the amount of money it would take to make any of those cars even able to stay with a GT-R would be more money than a Nissan GT-R costs in the first place). I will say it was a nice try to be a Fast & Furious movie, but it just didn't come close (a special effects helicopter flying under a bridge, come on!) Yet, to end on a positive note, the acting (other than the cop...) wasn't that bad at all and the actors have potential. I would say the faults and foibles were in the scripting and the post-production, not the acting.
