For all its cheesy dialogue, one-note characters, and lawless racing high
It's not your typical music video-
inspired drivel of tight shot, quick edit action that a Michael Bay ("The Rock") would have rendered. There is actually an arc to the action.By the
time the picture hits fifth gear in its third act white-knuckle double climax, you can fully appreciate the B-movie glory that the movie aspires to.There's even a less-than-predictable ending to send you on your
way after watching macho Los Angeles street demons tear up the asphalt in high-tech souped-up Hondas.Sure it's a guilty pleasure watching stunt
drivers put flashy state-of-the-art streetcars through impossibly daring maneuvers, but it's a happy indulgence nonetheless.Rated PG-13. 100 mins.
