    Worst movie I have ever seen! Within the first hour, i walked out and got my refund back...went to see Disturbia...and that was wayyyy better...tenfold!

    The movie is soooo bad, I spotted these flaws...

    1- Fake Diablo roadster...looked fake too!...
    2- During the motorcycle scene, they used a Ducati 999...then switched to another model.
    3- The Ferrari 612 part, where they chased the Murci...when the crash happened, They used a red 456 in the crash
    4-The brothers was in a Ferrari Red F430 Spider...then later scene, they arrive at the club in a Murcie Silver Roadster



    Only best part in the movie...Cleavage galore and cars! Any body got more?

    A low budget film is 8 million and under. This guy got taken to the cleaners by some "industry" professionals who knew a sucker when they saw one. It's very upsetting.

    There's an article on Yahoo about how all this came to be. Seems that beautiful lead actress is Daniels girlfriend and he got tired of seeing her audition time and again only to come up empty. So he hatched this brilliant idea. Hello Daniel, maybe the reason she wasn't booking anything is because she's a bad actress. Article goes on to put his out of pocket at 55 million between the production and releasing the movie into theaters himself.

    Usually when a man loses this kind of money over ******* it's in a divorce.

    I personally think that the creators of this movie knew that this movie would bomb at the box office...so they hatched up a plan to destroy a 1.3 million dollar Enzo to gain publicity...(which is in the millions) and thus get MORE people to watch it, therefore covering the price of the Enzo. $1.3 Million dollars is a small price to pay in order to get more people watch it (which is perhaps in the million(s) of dollars)

    I am sure everyone involved with this movie knew it would flop, they usually do audience test runs for various scenes with most movies then modify the scenes as needed, unless the test audience was a bunch of 13 year olds this should be no suprise to them.

    what was the deal with the evil uncle dancing around the fire throwing money into it? that's around when i left. the only good part of the movie was when the lead actress was waking up in the evil uncles house. that shot of her ass was worth the 10 bucks.

    The money was a messed up batch of counterfeit bills. You are right about Nadia Bjorlin that shot was worth the price of admission. She was the only reason I didn't get up and leave. Had to stay for the credits to get her name.

    He'll get his money back. It's had a pretty good showing. Then DVD, PPV and overseas deals. He'll probably make a killing.

    I love Canada. I've owned property literally one block away from Canada. I've hired Dennis Sobchuck (a GREAT guy...and not a bad hockey player!) I've been to Canada many many times for fishing, and for motorcycle competitions. I think Canadians have a higher per capita income than we Americans. Heck, I even like how they, unlike the US, paint the back of their street signs (green.)

    But with that said, sometimes it must just suck living in Canada! Having to live in the US's shadow and all. The film wasn't so hot that you're missing anything, for now, so you can relax.

    Again, I LOVE Canada...but I'll LIVE in the USA.

    I'm kinda dissapointed to see all these crappy reviews about it, but if you guys aren't careful i'll just go for this woman. I was going to go see it with a friend last night, but it wasn't playing because they weren't sure it would sell...we went to see Ghost Rider instead. Nic Cage is awesome...and so is Eva Mendes.

    Does she have a sister that's about 40 years old!? If her sister owns an Enzo (preferably black) then I'd be even more interested!

    Yes, Eva is indeed awesome, but you gotta admit that Nadia is much hotter.

    Jeez, GRADE BREAKDOWN: A's: 49 66.2%. Seems unrealistic.

    I'd be curious if this guy profits from this movie. Maybe he knows something I don't. ;)

    1.4 mil is the estimate but lets say it's accurate for Fridays take. It's then reasonable to assume the film might do 4-5 mil for the weekend. This would certainly be very bad news for the future TV, foreign and video sales of the film.

    Watching this unfold over the last few months (year even) has been like watching a slow motion train wreck that just didn't need to happen if not for an outsized ego, sheer arrogance and stupifying ignorance.

    Yeah she points more women out to me then I can catch myself. She's pretty good about that, but just won't crack when it comes to taking one home.

    Then his goose is cooked. The magic number for seeing any kind of significant sales price on DVD and TV is a 15-20 million theatrical opening. If he had done 8-10 he would've had a shot at break even. As it is he is done.

    Sadek is in denial. No one thinks that movie is good, and I bet that the only good reviews are posted by himself and his friends.
