One problem I have with this film...


Did Memphis and his crew really think that the head boss would accept the last three cars even if they somehow made the deadline? All three cars were in awful condition:

- The SUV Tumbler and Kip took from the pool party house had bullet holes in the windshield, and possible blood on the upholstery from when the security guards shot Toby.
- The Hummer Sphinx and Mirror Man drove would have colossal damage on the front of the car from when they rammed the police car in the impound garage.
- The GT500, well, we know what happened there, and how Raymond reacted (More so on not making the deadline, but he did comment on how the car looked.)

An entertaining movie, but that concept bothered me a little. (That and Angelina Jolie's hair, lol.)

The one thing that bothered me most was they CGI'ed the final jump, when we know from films like the remake Dukes of Hazzard 2005 movie that it's quite possible to jump real cars quite high.

Windshields take all of three minutes to replace and the Hummer would be fine... police car would have been pushed by the cage not the body.

It's not like Memphis had much of a choice anyway especially that close to the deadline.

My only problem is Angelina as car mechanic. And her blonde her too.
