Dirt

Might be an old cliche, but today it's good to watch a movie like this. Young black teen gets an opportunity to get out of the car stealing business and makes good with the help of a dirt track race truck owner and his team. Good race scenes very realistic.

Dez Truss (DeRon Horton) has been raising his younger sister by himself and stealing cars for a crime syndicate. He gets caught. His former mentor police Captain Joe Freeman is trying to keep him out of prison and recruits racing team owner Rick Radden (Kevin Dillon) to hire him.

I like the car action although that could probably be seen in some obscure sports channels. There is an early car chase which leads to a crash. It is fine stunt work. The story is fine for the most part. It has all the standard elements. This has some veteran actors and I like DeRon. The filmmaking is perfunctory for lesser work.

From the minute this starts, you know where it'll go (no pun intended) and where it'll end. It's predictable like that. You can't blame the characters being surprised by the obvious "twists" or story turns. The actors are decent and as another reviewer wrote: It's a family movie with a positive message. Something that people need in general.

I do not quite agree with his 10/10 rating, but that is me. I reckon he was very joyful watching him and I wouldn't blame anyone for that. Actually good for that reviewer or anyone else who'll enjoy this, maybe even due to the fact that either they are not as cynical or have watched as many movies as I have. For others this will seem like time wasted, even though it isn't really a bad movie

It's refreshing to see a movie with a deep emotional story. This movie has a easy to follow story line that deals with currrent issues while giving you a sense of hope that there are good people out there. Great movie for most ages. Well written and well directed. Great cast. The movie has a nice flow to it with a some funny scenes sprinkled throughout the movie. Highly recommend it!!!!

I was hoping the producers of this movie would get inspiration from 'Days of Thunder' and take the flick to another level. Well, that didn't happen, and that was a shame and a lost opportunity. But the budget didn't allow them to do much. So, it's just an "OK" movie and that's it. Nothing new happens.
