Review of Need for Speed (2014) by Jarkko H — 06 Feb 2017

Despite a decent cast and some okay car chases this is an absolutely ridiculous and suspension of belief overload borefest that lasts far too long, is way melodramatic and the key question that kept lingering is am I supposed to like these characters? They are mostly reckless and have little care for potential civilian casualties.

Now I know there is some of that scattered throughout the obvious comparison that is the Fast and Furious series but that film series actually has characters that care about not endangering lives whereas here it seems like they take pride in driving down the wrong side of the road or coming within an inch of killing multiple people.

It also has poor CGI, an abysmal score/soundtrack and a script that is lacking but crucially this film just isn't all that fun.
