Review of Need for Speed (2014) by Chaz A — 06 Aug 2014
Everything about this movie was taken straight from a recipe book for "Generic Action Movie with a Romance Subplot." However, if you are going into a video-game-made-movie film looking for rich story and in-depth character development, you're doing something wrong.
If you go into this movie expecting nothing but beautiful cars and cool race scenes, as you should, you will enjoy it. The actors were great, despite the less-than-stellar script, and the cars were absolutely gorgeous, despite the obvious flaws (they stuck actual seats in the Sesto Elemento replica.
.. They spent a lot more than they needed to on that alone, the Elemento just has reinforced foam bolted to the chassis in a shape that slightly resembles a seat). Overall an enjoyable film for any car-buff or adrenaline-junkie.
