Need for Speed

The strongest points involve cars, and the weakest involve more delicate matters like characters and story.

Let the checkered flag wave for Need For Speed as it crosses the finish line first with fast cars, phenomenal practical stunts, superb lensing, a story with heart and a future superstar in Aaron Paul.

Presumably set in a world where humans never mentally evolved from an animal state, the movie features increasingly nonsensical behaviors by derpy morons whose ability to dress themselves is as impressive to us as their ability to defy physics with cars.

It did stir up dormant gearhead fantasies with an array of epic shots. When the cars soar, so does Need for Speed.

Credited as a film that glorifies the notion of honor, friendship, and loyalty, all whilst revisiting the vintage stylings of 60's and 70's "car-culture" cinema, it's safe to say that Need For Speed fails on all counts.
