La gran fuga

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

This film tells the story of two brothers who are in trouble because of the heist of a very high end car. To redeem their crime, they are forced to steal the most prized possession of a powerful man's car.

"Overdrive" dedicates quite a bit of screen time showcasing fantastic vintage cars. I don't know much about cars myself, but I can imagine that these scenes are real exciting for car fans. The numerous car chase scenes, together with the numerous fancy cars, remind me of "The Fast and the Furious" series. The characters are fun and charismatic. The film is fun and entertaining. I enjoyed watching it.

This movie reminds me the French "Taxi" movie series (from Luc Besson): bad action scenes, bad acting, bad script, bad camera work....

I don't know how Scott Eastwood got involved in this movie. Because he can have a pretty good acting career like his father by selecting better projects.

Ana De Armas is not good either (before her big break in Blade Runner 2049). Surely because of the crappy and unoriginal script.

And I don't know how this movie got funded. Surely it can be a nice TV movie, so forgettable.

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.

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!
