The main character is nice, we easily attach to his story. The scenario is rather good, despite some improbabilities.
Thus, he must work in the morning, the afternoon he must train for motorcycling competition, and some nights he must deliver drugs from Holland to Paris, France. The gangsters take him in a van from Paris to Amsterdam (it is not specified). He has exactly two hours to make the trip in the opposite direction, on a motorcycle. Which means that he has to drive the bike at full speed almost all the way through the whole trip. Incidentally, he must escape the police who will pursue him from time to time.
The main problem is that the round trip Paris-Amsterdam-Paris takes a good part of the night. Stress is added as you go, as well as lack of sleep. Yet he does not commit a single mistake of driving, and has no accidents. It's just amazing. Impossible ? Probably.
This eventually gets the attention of the gangster leader, who then gives him a product to keep him awake. The hero, despite this, looks more and more like a human wreck. But yet, he succeeds in continuing. The only accident he has is when his two months of servitude end, he gets into a crash on the training circuit, exactly the last day that will determine if he will be chosen as a rider. For coincidences, the scenario is very good ...
Let's not forget the betrayal of another gangster: the hero is shot while riding a bike, crashes, get bruised, then is chased on foot. Also, that does not stand either, since his boss comes to save him exactly at the right place and at the right time ... when he can not know exactly where to go.
Arrived at 75% of the film, the story becomes even more incredible: his friends come to help him to get rid of gangsters. Here too, it becomes a "big no matter what". I admit that this part bored me, nothing is credible.
And in the end, he reconciles with his ex-wife, but decides to provoke the police. One wonders why, given all that he has lived during these last two months ...
If you decide not to notice the incredible details, you have a good time with this film. But you'll cringe often, that's for sure!
