Good. skip the last bit.

Warning: Spoilers
Racing driver (actually irrelevant, might as well have been a binwoman) falls in love with some bloke who turns out to be a bank-robber, Bank-Truck-robbery shenanigans ensue, really well done, they make this into a good film. It is a good film, don't get me wrong. When she's bald, that's when you switch off and watch ... Heat. Again.

Gangster-shenanigans affect the plot.

Main baddy-gangster is in about three scenes and seems wasted. Could've done better.

These particular bank-robbers turn out to be quite dumb and hero gets jailed, mostly because Bibi (binwoman) trusts some dippy blonde friend who turns out to have been an undercover cop. La flic, whatchagonnado?

After that the real film is practically over.

Mawkish cancer "I'm dying" stuff, something about dogs in cages, Rendezvous-inspired (the famous city car dash) end scene left me baffled but maybe because by that time I'd lost interest.

This film would have benefitted from either a massive cut of all the end stuff, or a smidgen of added end stuff just to round it off.

A love story of two characters who have no connection at all, no chemistry, and permanently blank disinterested expressions whenever they are together, including upsidedown coital scenes. (yeah, no, not sexy)

She's in everything, he's in everything, together they were meh.

And the fekkin film is NOT called "Racer and the Jailbird" you muppets!
