As so many have stated, hotwiring vehicles by slapping two wires together is a bit hokey. As for the newer model vehicles that don't need keys, yes that's very real but involves a little more sophistication. But, I stuck it out for the story. In for a penny, in for a pound. As such, this is a very tame Canidian rip of Gone in 60 seconds and the first couple fast and furious movies. There's also the fact that everyone in the U.S. knows every major skyline in the state of New York by now. As much as I like watching films made in Canada, seeing Toronto skylines passed off as New York is about the biggest gaffe a movie producer can make these days. The rest could have played better if the two main characters had been more believable and the story line moved along a little faster and more cohesive. I give it 10 stars for a possible good storyline, but can only give it 1 star for the execution. And yes, this movie feels like it had been literally executed and left for dead.
