Overdrive

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

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.

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 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).

Classic old school plot. Classic getaway. Classic cars. Classic chases but with beautiful shots of tight mountain roads. Pretty girls (only two of them). Nice soundtrack.

The makers of this movie failed to add depth to the main characters, because they shouldn't have even tried. The movie has enough pretty cars, two(yes, only two) pretty girls, decent pace which was watered down with shallow love stories. For some reason it gives the feeling that they cannot fail which spoils the thrill: "How are they gonna make it now!?". Yes, acting was cheesy, but convincing enough so you can bare it before the next chase. Clint Eastwood's son was so stiff, that I was expecting him to spit tobacco and to get on the horse at any moment now. The good thing - every single stunt was very real. No zero gravity, no "turn off the physics for a while" moments. Engine roar, rubber and grip. I would prefer this one before any of the last FF movies.
