Well this movie really did have potential to be great. Great location, nice back story, cool cars... but no no no no.
Let's start with the back story. A racer who is seen kissing a girl, then he's in bed with a house, wife, kid and a shitty job. How the hell did he get there? No character development at all.
Jane's life just kind of comes out of nowhere.
Enter John Cusack who plays a criminal. Again no back story yadada. Insert 10 second bank robbery where Cusack knows the code to the safe????
Now we get to the action scenes where Jane is driving the car at a dangerously fast 25mph on city streets. Talk about excitement!
Anyway as the movie progresses the cars get better but the acting gets worse. Cusack role could have been played by a high functioning autistic teenager and Jane's part could have been played by a dog. Would have made for a better movie.
Throw in some terrible chase scenes, horrible fighting and cheesy shootouts and you've got yourself a movie.
