Dirt

It's refreshing to see a movie with a deep emotional story. This movie has a easy to follow story line that deals with currrent issues while giving you a sense of hope that there are good people out there. Great movie for most ages. Well written and well directed. Great cast. The movie has a nice flow to it with a some funny scenes sprinkled throughout the movie. Highly recommend it!!!!

For a movie that I had never heard of this was a great movie. This movie should have been promoted way more. I get the fact that there was no big leading star, but the cast did a great job. It was also nice to se something new from Holly weird. This movie had a good script and very good acting, in my opinion. In a way it reminded me of the original Star Wars, in the way they took nobody actors and a good script and make a great story, and a very enjoyable ride. This movie is a kinda typical underdog movie, but it is done with heart. More people should take the time to see it.

I was hoping the producers of this movie would get inspiration from 'Days of Thunder' and take the flick to another level. Well, that didn't happen, and that was a shame and a lost opportunity. But the budget didn't allow them to do much. So, it's just an "OK" movie and that's it. Nothing new happens.

Might be an old cliche, but today it's good to watch a movie like this. Young black teen gets an opportunity to get out of the car stealing business and makes good with the help of a dirt track race truck owner and his team. Good race scenes very realistic.

I'll attempt to put aside what I know about the politics and positions of Forrest Lucas the executive producer of this film (as the viewers can look that up for themselves) and try and rate the movie on its own merits.

I picked this DVD up at Redbox, not knowing anything about it. and it's not a bad B-movie quality endeavor. Kevin Dillon stars as Rick Radden, an ex-champion off-road racer and who now owns his own truck racing team. DeRon Horton co-stars as Dez Truss, s former car thief, who's now trying to go straight and is given a second chance by Rick to work with his team.

They're both quite believable in their roles, as are many in the supporting cast. The plot elements are quite predictable and formulaic on the whole, but an air of tension is reasonably maintained in the off-road racing scenes and other areas, and there's an eventual feel-good aspect to it all.

Overall, aside from some of the blatant commercial plugs, I felt the film was reasonably well presented and better than I expected.
