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).

The best parts of the FF franchise are the effects and action scenes which require a massive budget.

Take away the budget and you get this movie which is a boring, clique'd, uninspiring mess that should have not been made.

Not absolutely horrendous but you will forget that this movie existed after walking from the theater.

Overdrive - Nice turn and twisty plot line. Interesting one to catch up if you are a racing and car buffs.

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!

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.
