I just saw this movie.
It borrows a great deal from Point Break - heists, bit of the old Zen stuff, misplaced bad guys identity, botched raid.
But the biggest "homage"?
Paul Walker's undercover cop speaks with the same accent and diction as Keanu Reeve's Johnny Utah.
Close your eyes and listen and you could be hearing the same guy!
And of course, despite the ethnic mix in reality of souped-up import car culture, there are hardly any Asians in this movie except as background. The one main Asian character turns out be a homicidal maniac.

This is the goriest snuff movie ever.
It makes Tarantino's Kill Bill seem quaint.
However it lacks Uma Thurman in a hot outfit.
On the whole, avoid unless you're into sado-masochism.
I can't wait until Mel remakes Spartacus. Just think - instead of three guys getting crucified, in 70 BCE the Romans tortured and crucified Spartacus and 6000 of his closest friends, then left their rotting bodies strung up along the Appian Way for decades.
Mel, if you're reading this, you can make a movie with several thousand times the violence!
