Overdrive

Overdrive is a movie to watch for three things: The classic cars, the French countryside and the ladies: Ana da Armas ( Stephanie) and Gaia Weiss ( Devin). Everyone and everything else is predictable that has been done over 100 times before.. Anti/ hero half brothers. Andrew and Garret. Foster ( Scott Eastwood ( son of Clint) and. Freddie Thorp), versus bad guys. I give it 5/10 stars. 2 for the cars, 2 for the scenery and 2 for the ladies ( 1 each for them).

Overdrive is a pretty fun movie, decent car action, ok characters. Overall it's not an awful movie to watch when you have nothing to do, but it is lacking in substance. The storyline is somewhat interesting but leaves a lot of plot holes. I wouldn't not recommend it but I also guess I would recowarn it. It's not the best film out there but there is far worse. I only watched it for Ana De Armas and she didn't disappoint, Scott Eastwood is pretty good and everyone else plays a decent part as well. Not disappointing but nothing to brag about.

Classic old school plot. Classic getaway. Classic cars. Classic chases but with beautiful shots of tight mountain roads. Pretty girls (only two of them). Nice soundtrack.

The makers of this movie failed to add depth to the main characters, because they shouldn't have even tried. The movie has enough pretty cars, two(yes, only two) pretty girls, decent pace which was watered down with shallow love stories. For some reason it gives the feeling that they cannot fail which spoils the thrill: "How are they gonna make it now!?". Yes, acting was cheesy, but convincing enough so you can bare it before the next chase. Clint Eastwood's son was so stiff, that I was expecting him to spit tobacco and to get on the horse at any moment now. The good thing - every single stunt was very real. No zero gravity, no "turn off the physics for a while" moments. Engine roar, rubber and grip. I would prefer this one before any of the last FF movies.

I was very disappointed with this movie. There was way too much going on and it was hard to follow.

Poor old Clunk Eastwood must be rolling in his grave...or would be if he was pan but almost every actor in this is awful.

Its probably notable that Karl Urban pulled out and many others so it seems the roles went to those at the bottom of the barrel and I do hear that old Clunk Eastwood gave the producers a back hander to get his son into it.

The English bloke Freddie just couldn't act - it was painful - I actually feel sorry for the wee chap!

Cant stand the London Idris Elba accent - he is another overrated actor if you can call him that but i digress.

Ana De Armas who i hear is in the new Bladerunner movie which i haven't seen yet and now makes me think twice as she was another of the acting eyebrows, bit of fluff on a stick style non-actress - I wonder which directors casting couch she laid out on to get into acting - Harvey maybe! ;p;

So bad, bad is the acting but on the positive side - the cars were good to look at and there were a few good explosions and bridges collapsing and you get a half decent car chase or two but the story is nothing spectacular - I don't really go for car movies much as in my opinion the car chase in "COLD SWEAT" with Charles Bronson is one of the best even though Steve McQueen fans may argue that one but this is nothing in comparison.

Could have been much better if they had found some actors who could like .. welll .... act!
