Get Fast - Flucht am Limit

This movie punches way above its IMDB rating! A fun action romp that doesn't take itself too seriously. I was pleasantly surprised by how entertained I was by this cast of lovable, yet canned characters. I did have just about all I could take of the anxiety ridden young man; but, I suppose he had a part to play in everything; but, it just got overused to the point where it became a bit over the top. Decent script, decent acting, good action albeit a bit tongue in cheek. I read one reviewer who compared the characters to a video game and I can totally see that! Not exactly real-life, a bit exaggerated; but, enjoyable nonetheless. It has a cowboy, a villain, a thief with a good heart, etc. It's worth your time, just don't expect it to win an Oscar. Relax and enjoy it for what it is.

I obviously looked at the IMDB rating prior to watching this. My buddy & I were bored, and said.. Why not? Some reviews say it's better than what you think.

Well guess what. This movie is awful. DO NOT WATCH IT. It's not entertaining nor action packed. It is plain silly.

Camera work is terrible. Acting work is terrible. Not even a good movie to kill time.

This is the first review I have ever written on a movie. I have done it out of good faith to those who may think, yeah let's give this movie a chance. I am also writing this in the movie theatre while it's running.

PS: Popcorn wasn't that good either, Thought I'd mention this too because why not. Lol.

It's called "Get Fast" I was expecting car chases. There's barely two and with a cool car for like 10 seconds. It does seem like everyone was trying their best. The sound isnt bad for a movie this low budget. The editors look like they really cared as there was attention to certain details I was surprised by. The muzzle flashes are reminiscent of, but not as good as, what Freddie Wong was doing on YouTube in 2012. Lou Diamond Phillips does a pretty good job but that actual seems kind of out of place in this mess. It's a shame, a bit more story coherence a some polishing up and could've been quite fun.

Loved this movie. It was full of action all the way through.

It appealed to me personally as it was filmed locally and I could identify with some of the locations and one of my cars was used in the opening sequence.

It has nonstop gun action and the semi-truck battle was pretty intense.

Runs a bit like a video game but that's okay makes for more action.

Lou Diamond Phillips does a good job.

Overall a fun movie.

Thumbs Up.

Don't think it's a Oscar award winner but enjoy it for the action movie that it is. Sit back and be prepared to be properly entertained. I was and am sure that you will be too.

The Thief is back. James Clayton once again directs and stars as the thief who along with his partner stole some cash from a ruthless drug lord called Nushi.

She does not like people stealing from her. She has in her pocket goons, corrupt cops and a hitman called the Cowboy (Lou Diamond Phillips.) They also have the Thief's partner.

So the Thief has to come to the rescue in an ice cream van with a nervous young man in tow who keeps mentioning jelly babies when he is nervous.

Get Fast is a direct to streaming B movie. It has a well worn plot, good production values but many of the characters are caricatures you have seen countless times before.
