Not anywhere near as bad as Fastlane (2009)
Added 11/6/2009
This is not anywhere near as bad as Fastlane Fast Lane but then it's not anywhere near as good as the first The Fast & the Furious either. The acting is wooden but watchable again not as bad as Fastlane. The cars are good and it's nice to see proper muscle car classics and super cars getting properley raced and crashed. View it as a good DTV movie and you'll be OK with it.
The filming is not bad and the sound is quite good.
Worth a watch if you know your super cars & muscle cars but don't pay much or rent it.

Love the cars but ......

Love the cars but not this movie. Even Vin Diesel would not star in this one. Just because you got fast cars, sexy women and music does not complete the formula for a good movie. RENT it, don't buy. Give it as a gift to your stoned friends.

This movie is a sign of the end times!

This movie is just so bad it's scary. The only interesting part of the movie is the intro, then after that it is all down hill. I guess they tried to balance out bad acting and a poor plot with models and fast cars. Well let me say this might have been a good movie had no one opened their mouth. Figuring out the plot is worse that Chinese water torture. It's really like 2 bad movies mashed into one, to create one big horrible ball of doodoo. It's like a bad car movie, and some cheesy mobster movie all rolled into 1. The only thing worth watching in this film are the cars, and even they show them horribly. I've seen better racing scenes in a video game. This movie is so bad that I think it ruined everyones career that was in it. I haven't seen or heard from anyone that was in this film. Even Eddie Griffins career is down the tubes. This movie is so horendous that copies of it should be sent to Iraq to help fight the war on terror. I remember when I went to rent this movie, and (thank God that I rented it!) the clerk girl told me that it was bad. I mean I've rented hundreds of movies, and this is the first time a movie was so bad they cared enough to tell me, that right there scared me. This Movie should never be brought, rented, or watched for that matter. Do yourself and all of humanity a favor and never watch this movie, matter of fact if you ever by chance run into it at a video store, or local DVD outlet DESTROY IT! SMASH IT! OBLITERATE IT! FOR THE SAKE AND FUTURE OF ALL MANKIND!

REDLINE
I really have never been more disappointed in a movie before, I should have known from a Fast & Furious knock off. I was never a huge fan of those three films so I should not have expected much from this movie, but Eddie Griffin was in it so I just had to buy it. For that reason alone I bought this movie and now I am not sure if it was reason enough, Griffin is a great entertainer, this movie is far from entertaining. It seems every time I just buy something for one reason or another with out seeing it I end up regretting it, there are a few exceptions like "Illusion" but those a very few. The Fast & the Furious was entertaining, 2 Fast 2 Furious was at least some what entertaining, and even Tokyo Drift was much better then this despite it being about high school kids.
The plot [if there really is one] and story is about a lady who is good at racing and is forced into it, and a guy who comes back from the military only to witness his brother die in a race. Sure that sounds kinda good but trust me it really is not all that great, but you can see were the potential was. The idea seems a little ok when you read it on paper or on a screen but the execution is really not grand at all and should have been handed over to Fast & the Furious guys for a part four. If that would have happened maybe it would have been at the very least ok. I don't enjoy speaking ill of any film because I really believe no one wants to make a bad movie but come on this movie needs help in a bad way. The story follows a man that comes home from the military just to find his younger brother involved in an illegal racing circuit working for their uncle who is a very shaky sketchy guy. At the same time a woman who is forced into racing becomes the uncles new prize when he wins her from Eddie, of course these two come together when his little brother dies and they go against the big bad uncle.
Producer/co-writer Daniel Sadek seems to be proud of the final product but I have to believe that is just a front because I would not be happy with this final product. I guess most of the blame should fall on Sadek and Robert Foreman as they wrote this disaster, their story is almost non existent and the characters are not very dimensional at all. You would think that the story would be some what ok, I mean even the F & the F franchise tried a little harder. Director Andy Cheng it seems may want to stick to stunt work because this film is no were near great, although I liked his debut "End Game" so maybe he just didn't have the write script. Still the direction is not there and the final product suffers for it, he needs to care more about projects I guess.
The acting is bad and I mean bad for this type of film, I say that because this was not a direct to DVD feature it actually had a theatrical run. As unbelievable as that it is you should see the performances in this movie, some are ok but most are bad. Eddie Griffin is one of the few to do an ok job in this film, but you can tell that he was in this for a pay check. Same can be said for Tim Matheson since he seems believable in this film as hard as that is to pull off. Every one else just seems to be on cruise control and maybe it is because they are there for a pay check, or maybe it is because the are not good you decide. I don't know, Angus Macfadyen as the uncle was ok and good in the villain role but Nadia Bjorlin should be ashamed with her performance. Nathan Phillips should feel the same way because I know he can do better then this right here.
This is not a good movie in my mind and I do not really recommend it to any body unless you like cars or want to see a few good looking women. Those are honestly the only reasons to see this movie, and let's be honest are they reason enough.
