Nadia was really pretty and I hope the movie didn't destroy her career. But she chose to be in it.
All in all it sucked more than any other movie has sucked. More than Kazaam and Glitter combined. That's saying something.
Don't
Do
it!!!!
First of all the character of the returning from war veteran story is not told well at all, but that was just a sidebar anyway.
The story revolves around high stakes speed racing of the exotic cars.
The actress in the movie is quite attractive and if she would have been cast in Michelle Rodriguez's role in Fast and the Furious the movie would have doubled its box office take.
As I said this is a fun movie but the stars are the cars. The Ford GT, the Ferrari Enzo the Lamborghini's's, the Z06 and of course the McClarren Mercedes . Now the problem with the movie is they don't take time to really talk about the cars or tell you how and why they are so fast. To me if you want to make a movie and the stars are the cars, introduce the cars character same as you do an actor.
Take every cheesy cliché out of an 80s action TV series, put in some really crappy special effects and lame characters with no relevance and you have living proof that Daniel Sadek should not write screenplays and produce movies but should remain in the real estate business.
This is such a lame movie with such a lame plot and the most contrived action sequences ever. What offends me is not that the makers of this film are idiots but that they consider the movie going public to be idiots enough to fall for this crap.
including but not limited to "allright lets see what these guys can do" I should also mention that when they show the crashes involving innocent civilians, you end up feeling bad for the innocent people and start to hate the characters themselves. Eddie Griffin's character is also one of the most stereotypical black guy personas that just rubs people the wrong way. He may or may not be a good actor but this movie doesn't allow for that kind of character exploration. You want a movie that leaves the audience on the side of the bad guys? Oceans 11. This movie just makes you hate the bad guys instead of capturing the audience.
Even the cars can't make up for this fluke of a movie. That Enzo that Griffin wrecked sums up this movie perfectly. It just sucks.

[first lines]
Natasha Martin: There are cars that get you from point A to point B. And then there are cars that get you from point A to point B really fast. Fast cars cost big money, and with millions of dollars at stake, there are people who'll do anything to win. People who take risks and never play it safe.
