I'm being generous with a 6/10 because I love the bikes, (and we don't get enough scripted motorbike movies on the screen) and that the acting was decent. I watched a dubbed version so by acting, I'm focused more on the cast's physical/emotive performance over the voice actors doing the English dubbing.
The somewhat predictable story makes this a mostly 'plug and play' script. There were a couple of things don't make sense to me though... 1) Why would a smuggler want to go so fast as to be all but guaranteed to attract the wrong kind of attention for him? If he's doing a smuggling run, the best thing he could do is the speed limit, following the rules of the road perfectly. The bad guy says 'he's only got 2 hours' but we're never told WHY he only has 2 hours, and why it can't take a bit longer. Without knowing a legitimate reason for the 2 hour time limit, the whole 'need to race to the drop point' immediately becomes less plausible because all of the answers we come up with on our own to explain that are so convoluted that they break our suspension of disbelief.
2) The ending makes little sense to me because, if he got away with things in the end, why is he out riding illegally (covered plate suggests that he's going to go speeding around)? Is he doing that because he lost his race career and just needs to go fast because he's addicted to speed? Because if that's the case, then his character growth throughout the film is nothing... all the hope we have for him making his family more important than his bike (which is the reason his girl left him according to her), when he gets out clean and has his family back, gets flushed away. And if he ISN'T going out there to do anything but have a nice mellow, legal cruise around, why did he cover his plate? And why were the police waiting to snag him when he got to the traffic light (for that matter, the cop car just sat there at the red light, with its lights on... a cop in pursuit would run the light to get a suspect)? If they weren't after him, why were their lights on, why did they clearly wait for him - since cops don't need to stop at red lights when in pursuit? They were clearly after him because they waited for him to go, then followed... but we have no idea what crime or evidence they have on him, if anything. Did he and his gang buddy take over the business and he's doing night-runs/drop-offs between the Arabs and his gang buddy? If so, see point #1... and also the fact that his character growth has been flushed away with that ending as well.
