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.
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).
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.

This film tells the story of two brothers who are in trouble because of the heist of a very high end car. To redeem their crime, they are forced to steal the most prized possession of a powerful man's car.
"Overdrive" dedicates quite a bit of screen time showcasing fantastic vintage cars. I don't know much about cars myself, but I can imagine that these scenes are real exciting for car fans. The numerous car chase scenes, together with the numerous fancy cars, remind me of "The Fast and the Furious" series. The characters are fun and charismatic. The film is fun and entertaining. I enjoyed watching it.

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.

Did you know
- TriviaThe Ferrari 250 GTO in the movie is not one of the genuine 36 250 GTO's. Instead it is a replica, based on a Ferrari 250 GTE, chassis number 4861GT, owned by a French collector. This is unsurprising as a real car of such used in the film would be valued at several millions: the current record for world's most expensive car was set a year after the films release (2018: a 1963 250 GTO (chassis 4153GT) sold in a private sale for $70 million; and another in auction (GTO 3413GT) at some $48,000,000): prior to the film being made, a bid of $34,000,000 secured one in 2014.
- GoofsIn the opening scene where the BMW M3 turns into the path of the semi, the dashboard of the car shows the vehicle in park, something the car would not likely allow the driver to do while moving.
