Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Autobahnraser" or "Porta Westfalica" or "A2 Racer" is a German movie from 2004, so this one is already way over a decade old. The director is Canadian filmmaker Michael Keusch, who is mostly known for his collaborations with Steven Seagal. The script of this one is by Kulzer and Weigel and looking at their bodies of work, it is not too surprising this did not turn out very well. It is slightly shorter than 1.5 hours and the cast here features a whole lot of actors and actresses who were mostly known back then (and are now) for their performances in German daily soaps. So yeah, you basically know what to expect now. And those cast members who did not appear in the likes of GZSZ or Marienhof do not have exactly great films in their body of work. And as the title is not exactly promising either (sounds like a Manta movie), I was expecting the worst of the worst. It did not turn out that bad really. The film's strength is that it does not really take itself seriously at all and as a consequence some scenes were actually fun to watch. Yes the cast wasn't good, but at least the girls were kinda hot and this actually applies to almost all of those with more than 10 seconds screen time. The story about car racing (and the incompetent police trying to stop them) is of course as absurd as it gets and it is never working out from an authentic perspective. But like I already wrote in the title, this one can actually be appreciated as a bit of a guilty pleasure movie. But honestly, this is the only approach really and that's why I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.

Crveni Krst I saw this title a couple days a go on Austrian TV and I did like it a lot. As a matter of fact I gave it 10 whole points, and there is a good reason for that.All those who say Autobahnraser is simple, dull and shallow are 100% right. It is all those things. But I don't see why wouldn't it be? It's a teen comedy with cool cars and fast idiotic driving. You really don't need things like acting, drama and a complex story in such an arrangement. It would just spoil the simple fun.However, the main reason why I loved Autobahnraser so much is the appearance of my beloved 2002. I have one, I love it and I like seeing it in movies, especially if there's fast driving involved. That's it - 10 subjective points from me :D Even so, with all it's shallowness, Autobahnraser has more depth than Avatar, for instance...

Anita well, this is no German remake of fast and furious - it is the German thought on fast and furious, a parody rather than a remake. and i had a great laugh watching it. my most favorite part is when the old lady brakes hard because of all the 'autobahnraser' overtaking her, and her choppers fall out of her mouth in slow-motion, biting into the stirring wheel! wow, what an effect! i loved the movie. real car stunts Made In Germany, no boring computer effects! good stuntmen, good joke ideas, unexpected situations! worth watching it!

ElizaRomualdez This film is great for TV, ProSieben in Germany or RTL II, but the big screen - get over it, it's a waste of time and money. The story is way too predictable. Directing, please give us a break. Why is a film like this being so pushed by the press and the distribution company - avoid at all cost, otherwise you may think that all German comedys are stinkers like this piece of cinematic c***. Usually when the producers mother, Miss. Iris Berben, isn't in a film by her son, the moovie is a failure. I think Constantin Film, the German distributer has to watch out, what their portfolio is gonna look like in a couple of years - I mean stuff like this is not going to work on VIDEO and DVD. But it will have great ratings on RTL II.
