Kill Speed

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.

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 wish I could give this film a higher rating but I just can't, not only is the script horrible, the acting is OK at best. I saw this movie because Brandon Quinn is in it. I thought his performance in "Thirst" was very good, but in "Kill Speed" the lines the poor guy has to deliver are so awful I just cringed at times. The concept and plot of the movie are good as are the flying scenes but the acting is so bad (especially Christian Monzon) he is a breathtaking man but he needs to stay focused on his modeling career because acting is not his forte. When the most accomplished actor in your cast is Tom Arnold you should be concerned, very concerned. Skip this one, it's just that bad overall. I do want to say that I hope Brandon Quinn gets some better film roles because he has the talent i.e. Thirst, he just needs a good script.

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 watched this with a couple of pilot buddies of mine. I'll start with what I liked because the list is quite small.

The flying. Apart from a few shots which were obviously CGI, the rest were actual aircraft actually flying, and the production team did a great job of making them look and sound fantastic. The fact the producers chose to go down that route instead of doing them entirely in CG deserves some credit.

But the list of gross factual errors, bad dialog, silly direction, and holes in what is already a paper thin plot pales in comparison with the bad pacing. For me, the pacing totally ruined any enjoyment I might have received from this film. One of the action scenes in the middle of the film was far better done than the one at the end so the second half of the film felt rather anti-climatic.
