Get Fast

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.

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.

This film tries very hard to be stylish and charming, in the manner of the first Smokin' Aces film. And it fails on all fronts.

Lou Diamond Phillips plays it as well as anyone can, though he's almost unrecognisable for the most part. The rest are such over-acted caricatures that they're just two-dimensional and annoying. Screaming and bulging eyes don't turn this into something funny or clever.

The action is actually boring for the most part. The film seems to think it needs an action scene every five minutes to keep you watching - and it's partially correct. The plot is so dull and all over the place that it's hard to follow. Or rather, it's hard to care enough to bother following it.

There's some guy, who has stolen some money or something. And at least two other groups of people want to get it from him, for reasons that just blurred past me. It's extremely hard to care about any of the characters when none of them are real in any way.

CGI largely ruins the stunts. The undoubtedly-skilled stunt performers working on this lose credibility when you realise how much of everything is greenscreen. The main character can't even ride a motorbike along a straight road without having to phone it in.

I made it to the end, though I wanted to give up several times. With bullet wounds proving inconsequential most of the time, the stakes were generally nothing. When people did actually die, it was hard to believe they actually did, when they'd shrugged off worse earlier on. Why did any of this happen? Why would anyone care? Did anyone win in the end? I don't know and I watched it all.

Not the best of movies but still a lot of fun, plays like a video game mostly with canned characters all after a couple bags of money. Lots of action, gunplay, several groups of bad guys all against each other and all about the cash. Some good humor , nothing questionable, no nudity or foul language, a great movie to pass the time if you can't think of something else to see. The ice cream truck driver is great in this and totally believable as he copes with his stress by saying jellybean over and over as he musters the courage to make it through. Ok for the kiddos if you don't mind some violence and a little blood.

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.
