    So I rented it and watched it last night. "Awesome" in the sense of awesome cars, pretty darn good filming, lots of stuff blowing up, beautiful people and houses and ...

    Low budget acting (I would have expected more from EG in that dept since he obviously can't drive! :) ) and so-so plot, though the thug who worked for the crime lord was quite convincing actually (maybe because he had 10 words in entire movie)!

    All in all, I enjoyed it more than I do most movies, simply because of the content.

    ... I don't care if you don't like it, I LOVED IT, and would put it as a "must see" for any Ferrari/exotic enthusiast!!! So there!

    I would buy it for sure if they put in on Blue Ray or HDDVD.


    PS Naysayers - WTF were you expecting? An Academy Award winner? Would you go to WWF to scout world class atheletes as well? :)

    And purposely so... theatrical license! I have lots of my own videos of very experienced racers/instructors driving Ferraris etc. at Willow Springs etc. Totally boring to watch. It looks so slow on film (unless it's an F1 car or something).

    Its more the downshifting every 2 sec or the way they steer as if the steering wheel weighed 2 tons and yet they are doing 150 mph ..

    Once you know how to drive , even a little , it just looks stupid , a la fast and furious..

    I got the DVD also. I thought that the movie was pretty good. The special features of the making ofthe movie was pretty interesting, although I was surprised that there was no mention of the Eddie Griffin Enzo crash.

    That is the worst movie I have ever seen period. The movie was completely unrealistic and not even close to believable. True the cars were nice, they were just there to cover up the horrible acting and horrible plot. I wouldn't waste money on buying it, rent it if you must. Be prepared to be disappointed.

    Thats Kevin Levrone, the former top flight bodybuilder (finished 2nd at the Mr Olympia twice and won about 20 contests). Its only like his 2nd screen role......he had alot more lines than I thought he'd get.

    I just rented it, my first time seeing it.

    Yes it's very corny, but I was expecting that. I'm glad I didn't go to the theaters for this, but it's worth renting for the cars/chicks at least. :)

    I guess it was nice to see some exotics in a movie, but me and my friends just couldn't stop laughing.

    Yeah, I rented it, watched it, and promptly forgot it. The eye candy was nice, though.

    Well there's another car film on the making, not much was told to me and but it's about "teenagers" and expensive cars. I went to the set because they wanted the F430 in the movie, but I was to leave it along with the keys for three days and I just drove away. They kept a white GT40, a Viper and a nice custom gold metallic painted bike.

    I would much rather watch a Gumball video....

    Where to start... I'll leave out the painfully bad acting, and the girl? So goddam stupid that I wish she had no lines in the film... then I could still imagine banging her. Even though she is smokin hot, as soon as she opened her mouth and uttered her "lines" I wanted to jump off my office roof.

    Then there is the "action". I wanted to see this flick b/c I figured I'd hear and see some cool cars. Well.. I suppose you see the cars, but the overdubbed engine sounds and 50,000,000 screen shots of the speedo at over 200mph while cornering at 45 degrees... Well my BS meter would not allow me to enjoy it.

    Icing on the cake is the gay "lambo" crash that is obviously a cheap replica. I've seen better acting in pornos than this. In fact, it MIGHT have been worth the cash if there was some T&A scene.

    Only reason I stayed in the film was to point and laugh. Honestly laughed more in this film than any comedy I have ever seen.
