Movie focuses on tricks how to steal various cars, then high end cars and eventually how to turn drugs into cars! Wow things look tips for car thives. A perfect car thief caught by police after stealing car and let him go only terms that he will be undercover in a car stealing mafia. Later things going smooth and positive but expected end after very average climax. Actors are just okay only Hannah Gordon reminds you to notice her for her lusty role.

A young man quits his job in computer repairs to steal cars for money and finds himself stealing the wrong car. Once caught he is given a choice to go to jail for life or become an undercover agent and infiltrate a group that are stealing luxury sports vehicles for export. The young man finds himself not only deep under cover, but finds himself in deeper water as drugs, blackmail, love triangles and his own life halt his way out.
So... is it F&F? As far as an undercover cop infultrating a gang of car thieves goes, it's simmilar, but it's not really about the cars or a heist, it's a different tone where the main guy just gets in too deep and its a bit of a thrill ride as to will he get out of this alive?
So no, it's not a F&F wanna-be. The movie does have a few annoying filler scenes tho, as terrible rap music plays and goes into a bad montage of drifts or speeding around the city. Scenes that fail to add any excitment to the film and could've been done away all-together with for a better pace.
With that said, it's good for one watch, but not really anything you would wanna see again. Watch it only if it sounds like something you might be interested in. But it's no 'must see' flick.

Mikey (Francesco Filice) is a young car thief who specializes in stealing hi-end cars and gets caught by the police and is forced to work with them, but the police are not interested in the car thief ring run by Charlie (Sean Ray) and his partner Sammy (Alex Loubert). They are after the drugs they believe are being made and sold.
Mikey steals Charlie's car and is so impressed how it was done, Charlie offers Mikey a job, which was the point of stealing the car the police say. All works good for a while until Sammy makes a drug deal with Koflex (Sam Asante).
So we see Mikey doing a balancing act between the police and Charlie and now Sammy and the drugs; and also not getting caught with Ava (Hannah Gordon), Charlie's girlfriend.
It is really nice to see many hi-end cars and see them revved up often. Very nice. Vvvvvroooom!!
There are some twists along the way and the final twist you will not see coming.
Notables: Vivica A. Fox as Detective Reid who Mikey reports to; Nathan Hibbert as an African Drug Dealer.
Production, photography, pacing and acting all around are very good, but this did lack serious tension and that could have made this a stronger contender. (5/10)
Violence: Yes. Sez: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Yes.
Rating: C

I don't normally write reviews, but the acting, story line and concept behind this moving was really poor. Would not recommend watching this movie.
Poorly constructed mishmash of other movies. Nothing original here. We've seen it all done before. Had potential with doorways set up earlier on that weren't used. Last 15mins made little sense and felt like they just wanted it over and done with. I can't even recommend it as an afternoon time waster. Look for something else.

AS A SOUTH AFRICAN I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED THAT THIS STUPID MOVIE WOULD BE FILMED IN BEAUTIFUL CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA AND THEN LABEL IT AS WEST GHANA!!!!!! IF YOU WANTED A MOVIE TO BE NAMED AS WEST GHANA FILM IT IN FREAKEN WEST GHANA!!!!!!!! 😠😠😠😠😠
Very convincing and all very possible. Very cool characters, very memorable. Viv is the most famous person in this movie and she's just there cause we all find comfort in familiar faces. But damn Vivica cant act to save her life. Her Independence days are long over. She should have never hooked up with 50. Over all, entertaining and a breath of fresh air that you already exhaled but made it's way back into your mouth... a Cool 7 from me

This film is a succession of loosely connected scenes .
Each scene is an unimaginative copy of what you have seen before in movies of that genre , but on a tiny budget, with awful acting, and a lack of skill that makes George Lucas look like a genius .
One extra star because it could have been even worse .

The movie is not that great ... the story is good ... i've felt like watching Gone in 60 seconds ... Charlie looks like Jonny Deep :D !

The longer it goes the less like the Fast and the Fabulous it becomes. First of all the cops. The chick cop is just an awful character played by an awful actress. There's various characters with Sammy being utterly pathetic in all ways. I hate the cops in this movie. I hate the entire premise that he happens to steal a car that a cop owns. Lets look at that for a minute. An original 1965 Cobra isn't going to be in some tokens possession whereby it is inherited by the token son. That car is too rare and it's just not going to happen. Also, the car hasn't moved for two weeks and the top is down outside the front of the garage in some crappy neighborhood a cop can afford? That car is long gone and nobody needed the keys to steal it. No! The car would be inside the garage. Are they trying to suggest the cops have the forethought to plan for it to be taken. Anyway, moving on. This chick happens to be the greatest ever drift driver and the old guy lets her drive his car? Hahahaha that's laughable and insane. In the final act the kid suddenly gets all Oceans 11 and there is some heist planning. Then oh no the token bad guy knows you're an "agent". So this last act just gets more and more out of hand. I guess it's some sort of climax which is good, because a film really should build and up until this point it really never did. Now there are some cops coming in all shooty shooty in a bar. Realistic stuff right? Hahahaha. Now token takes a hostage, the drift chick. Cops shoot the token in the head. OH now it's more of the pathetic cop chick. He "eXcaped" she said, hahahahaa. English much b? Stupid token. Charlie and drfit chick escape in the Police car, nice touch. That was worth an extra star.
I wasn't expecting much going into this B-grade film with actors I've never heard of, and also noticed it was a Toronto Canada B-grade production by newb writers and director Reza Sholeh and Ant Horasanli.
Yes it was a mishmash of a lot of films we've seen before, and it was a little cliched, but to be able to take the fun and decent parts of those films, and use the cliches as humor, it ends up being a decent, fun and entertaining story.
The 91 min runtime and pacing were spot on. The score was decent, especially for a B-grade film, and the music awesome for the most part, although not necessary in so many scenes. The acting was surprisingly good for novice actors I've never seen or heard of, especially Sean Rey, Francesco Filice and Hannah Gordon, who were very convincing in their roles. I wasn't that impressed with Alex Loubert as Sammy - not sure if it was his character and/or his acting. The directing, cinematography and editing seemed very professional - you'd think seasoned filmmakers were involved.
Rev is a fun and mature film with cool ngst-ngst Techno music, decent pacing, cool and chic Toronto locales, and a showcase of some fine exotic cars. I thoroughly and surprisingly enjoyed it.
I feel this film is undeservingly rated too low, considering it's a novice B-grade film that's better than most I've seen, even better than some Hollywood productions that have come out lately. It's a solid 8/10 from me. To see how I professionally review and rate my 900+ reviews and 1000+ ratings, click on my username.

Really quite a good film, cars, girls, chases and guns...Great drifting scenes...believable characters....apart from one...
Alex loubert's acting as the character Sammy, is laughable...its so corny...quite amateurish if im honest! He lets the film down in a big way.
Other than that, enjoyable and watchable.

Ok it's not badly acted or anything but it is kinda not amazing either . I try's hard and the narrative is well weak
But I've seen this film somewhere before or at least big bits of it other movies
One that stands out is No Mans Land . With Charlie sheen ... even the main bad guy is called Charlie ... well it's ok but if you want a better car film try No mans land for pure action and fun .

Better than some of the made for dvd/indie films of the same category. Some good action and nice cars. The cast were alright . The plot could have been stronger in some places but altogether not a bad movie.

Movie has a fairly decent plot. Casting could have been better. Acting isn't really the best. Predictable movie but in a satsifying way.

So the cliche is fast and furious on a tiny budget but....guess what, they actually know cars better. I thought the actors were fun, the four leads were entertaining to watch - Sammy and Ava stuck in the head. Some nice moments, plenty of cheese and plot was totally on the numbers, but with a beer, and smile and a desire to forget about the craziness out there, it might just be worth a watch.
