Kill speed - Fuga ad alta velocità

The problem with this movie is that it is corny. The script is very ordinary, so much so that you get a strong sense of deja vu with every word spoken. It's as if it was written by a paint by numbers manual for screenwriters. The leads do their best with the material. The lesser stars are wooden. The plot seems a little deja vu too, although the overall concept is far more convincing for a movie idea: three good-looking young men with their fast, modern small aircraft, embark on a high-octane adventure. And indeed, the flight sequences are riveting, sufficiently thrilling and populous to ensure that most will happily get through the movie, though without becoming engaged or excited. I can't think of too many other movies that involve precisely three pilots working together in a very high-tech game, although there are of course movies involving daring flights. With a better zest for movie-making this piece could easily have competed with the tv show Animal Kingdom or the movie Point Break. Two or three of the actors have the lustre but are given no opportunity to shine (including the bad guy). I also found the dial on morality here to be chronically downplayed, a blow to believability. There is an initial scenario that impressed me a little, being comic and gritty at the same time, but this wasn't a good indicator of how the movie was to track, indeed, it was only to introduce a couple of very minor players. Further attempts at humour were bland. The soundtrack was modern, and in this at least, somewhat creative. This would be a good idea for a movie to revisit if someone could spend the time to up the tension and unpredictability. Super fast planes alone was not enough.

This was an enjoyable film for pilots as the action was quite real and some of the technical aspects of flying were accurate. For example, in the beginning there was a scene where the aircraft needed a hot start and the main character had to wait it out on the runway to get the plane restarted. On the other hand, flying through downtown LA was clearly dumb. At times the humor was cheesy, but overall it was fun to watch with the great flying sequences.

The main characters were likable and real. The outcome at the end was far-fetched considering the scale of the crimes, but I don't think that was the aim of the movie.

I was interested in watching this movie after seeing the trailer. It seemed like a good, fast-paced action thriller, dealing with meth. Considering I am addicted to Breaking Bad, I thought it would be, at least, entertaining.

The movie has some good elements, and they must have invested quite a bit of money in all of the flying scenes--and there are a lot of them. Unfortunately, this is the only part of the movie that is actually interesting, and well executed. The script seems to be written for a juvenile book, rather than as screenplay. Some jokes are just not the kind of things you would hear someone say, although they may look somewhat funny on paper. There were a couple of moments where I couldn't believe how bad some of the lines were. One of the things I will remember this movie for, is the particularly bad jokes the actors had to say. Since they invested so much into the flying scenes, why not spend some more time and effort into a good script? There were also some obvious technical mistakes with the lighting in some of the scenes, which showed a rather careless attitude towards delivering a polished product. While most of the flying scenes looked good; a lot of the police headquarters scenes looked very cheap. The police chief was good looking enough for an acting role, but; did not match at all, the persona or character required for such a role, nor did the snitch-girlfriend. One memorable moment is when he puts his foot up on the chair while cutting a deal with the main character. It was such an odd and seemingly uncomfortable position, filmed from such a bad angle, that it ruined any little credibility that scene could have produced. Very few of the cops looked like real cops, as they tried too hard to be tough; obviously not succeeding.

Overall, it is a movie for teenagers that are not too critical on either the acting, script, special effects, or corniness of a situation (there were quite a few of those). From that perspective, it can actually be an enjoyable experience. But for a mature audience, this film simply will not work.

However, it was a good idea, and I hope the Director takes advantage of the opportunity and learns from the mistakes made in this production, in order to not repeat them in the future.

Than watch the acting in this movie again. Movies like this should never hit the shelf and burned. I think that if nick carter is going to be in movies, maybe he should be an extra so he can sit back and take notes. He is retarded thinking he's ghetto or even an ounce of ghetto. He dresses like that in real life so you would think he would be a little more natural at it. I would never watch a movie with nick carter in it again. I didn't even watch the whole thing someone was watching it and had to beg them to turn it off. I hope he reads these review so hopefully he can see how ridiculous he looks and how horrible his acting is. There is not even an ounce of talent. Probably wouldn't be that bad of a movie if he wasn't in it.

I suffered through the whole feature. I had to watch it because it is my job. Please, for your own sake, skip the damn thing.
