The Worst Film Ever
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I was hoping the producers of this movie would get inspiration from 'Days of Thunder' and take the flick to another level. Well, that didn't happen, and that was a shame and a lost opportunity. But the budget didn't allow them to do much. So, it's just an "OK" movie and that's it. Nothing new happens.
If you have seen any film where the understudy becomes a star, like "The Natural" you have the plot figured out in the first five minutes. Dez (DeRon Horton) is a misguided teen who steals cars and used to work in his dad's shop. Rick Radden (Kevin Dillon) races dirt vehicles and has a cocky unlikable driver. Dez goes to work for Rick and guess what happens Scooby-Doo? Dez brings some baggage with him so the story can go 90 minutes without it all being left turns. Almost like a film you might catch on Disney or the family network. Decent sound track, half-decent swagger. Guide: No swearing sex or nudity. Most of the brief violence is done off screen.
For a movie that I had never heard of this was a great movie. This movie should have been promoted way more. I get the fact that there was no big leading star, but the cast did a great job. It was also nice to se something new from Holly weird. This movie had a good script and very good acting, in my opinion. In a way it reminded me of the original Star Wars, in the way they took nobody actors and a good script and make a great story, and a very enjoyable ride. This movie is a kinda typical underdog movie, but it is done with heart. More people should take the time to see it.
Good uplifting movie. A movie for the whole family and good racing in it
