Review of Speed Racer (2008) by Marcus K — 17 Aug 2011
Despite occasional cheesy dialogue, The Wachowski brothers first film since the matrix series is simply brilliant. The opening sequence is brilliantly put together and keeps the viewer captivated for the next two hours.
An adaptation of an adaptation of 1960's Japanese turned American cartoon this film was destined too be way over the top visually. True to their form however the Wachowski brothers pull it together in dazzling and genius style to make this film one of my favorites.
It also bodes well to have stars like John Goodman and Susan Sarandon, however this film never got the credit it deserved.
