Ok, I'm just back from seeing the movie, and I have to admit it met every one of my expectations--and that is by no means good.
The car scenes were glitzy but hopelessly unrealistic. Without saying too much, I will ask: bridge?!
And Tyrese drove a wack-ass Eclipse convertible (the new FWD kind) with rediculous 20 inch rims. The blond dude's Evo/Skyline were ok, although you never really saw them doing anything that amazing looking--everything looked touched up by CG.
Anyway, the movie wasn't all bad--it was fine for some cheap n' dirty entertainment. But I think its biggest mistake is that it's not really a car movie, it just has a lot of cars in it. Most of the emphasis is on the whole underworld crime fighting theme.
Thoughts?
