First Five Minutes. Over
2 April 2009
Definitely, good for car-fans. Since I'm not one of them, I tried to view it as objectively as I could.

The first five minutes rock indeed - a masterwork of "road-action". But, once we get over them, and the REAL ACTION begins, all goes constantly down, to ultimately fall sort of flat. The main failure remains what was purported to me, in the movie-writing terminology, the "main event": the demented car race trough the Los Angeles traffic - much below what it should have been!

Between the chases and other hot-wheels scenes, the story-line is uselessly complicated, and the directing, correct and nothing more. Points again for he stylish animation of the final credits. And this should be all. Sadly inferior to "Death Race", for instance, which DID KNOW how to deliver to motor-fans!
