Turbo-charged wallbanger with the IQ of a tire iron. But it jumps off the screen with the mindless panache of a good bad movie.Read the full review
Not a great movie, but it delivers what it promises to deliver, and knows that a chase scene is supposed to be about something more than special effects.Read the full review
Works hard to be exciting, but the movie scarcely lives up to its title. It could have used a bit of a fuel injection itself.Read the full review
The result is an intensely involving entertainment that can be enjoyed by viewers who scarcely know how their own cars work.Read the full review
