sit and watch on your tv...


**Spoilers** (but not really if you've seen the other movies were cars are "boosted")

One of the reviews on here said "gone in sixty seconds" meets "bulletproof", I say it's more like "gone in 60 seconds" meets the dollar store while watching The Fast and the Furious.

The soundtrack is out of place and doesn't sound right with the pace of the movie. Not too much time and/or money was spent on this. Playing the same song over and over gets boring too. Even some straight to video movies sync up the soundtrack to what is going on on the screen. Fast pace song to a fast pace scene...

For a tv movie the cinematography wasn't half bad, no overuse of the "shaky cam". The use of more than one scene in a frame was applied amateurishly though. No over the top special effects just the one crash at the beginning. The cheap factor came into play here too.

Now the for the storyline, even though it's not a complete ripoff it's still felt like a cheap knock off. It's like a few decent movies mashed up to make a new crappy one. Also at the end right after the gangster was shot and everyone in the car were all happy...like nothing happened? Realism took a back seat to a proper ending. It seems the target demographic for this movie is teen to mid 20's and having the main protagonist be an undercover fbi agent won't get you any plus points (I know this is more a matter of opinion but majority rules). Maybe the fast and the furious got away with this but then again they had a budget. WTF was up with the shootout, bad timing? You knew it was coming but when it got there it's as if it didn't belong.

You wont see anything new you may even be disappointed. I managed to sit through it because I had nothing better to do.

The blonde and the one brunette were hot, yay for that.

My Dad was watching this movie and I was seeing bits and pieces from the kitchen.

I kept saying to myself "this movie is awful" and "It's trying to be cool like this movie or that movie".

And then, they stole a whole scene from Infernal Affairs! HA HA HA! Amazing.

How do these movies get made??
