This is an excellent movie! Safe for the whole family to watch, and beautiful lessons learned. Something we've watchEd multiple times, good story line, and great outcome!
Surprisingly good film considering the negative reviews posted here, I guess haters will be haters. Hardly a film to be compared to the Fast and Furious considering the budgets. Completely disagree with most of their assessments. I saw this in theaters and there was a standing ovation so maybe I'm not alone in my opinions. However having said that, I found it well paced, well shot, good acting, and music fit genre. The story rings true for many and having lost friends to Motorsports related accidents or those that were injured from them, I think it explores an interesting perspective. It did have some clichés but not in bad taste and really hardly any films don't lack clichés these days anyway. It is also nice to see a car film that uses real believable race car action rather than "super hero type" stunts that could never happen in reality (although entertaining). Maybe not a film for today's theaters big budget huge action type films, but a great film for television. Worth watching.
So bad that I'm not even sure where to start. The first thing I'll say is don't waste your time unless you're willing to sit through an abundance of cliché's that come one after another from start to finish. I typically only write a review in situations that warrant a red flag, so that viewers don't waste their time.
This movie runs the gamut on just about everything, poorly written, poor choice of actors, a film score that just doesn't belong with the story, etc. etc... If you're a "gear head" then you're going to be even more disappointed because a lot of the mechanical references are flat out laughable to the point you would actually be embarrassed for the actor/character.
I'm pretty sure I could grab some local racers and make an equally as bad movie, but for a lot less money. I'll even go out on a limb and say my actors/characters could deliver funnier lines without all the cliché's added in. To sum this up....go take the dog for a walk or play a board game with your kids/friends!!

This movie was great. Yes, it might come up a bit short in the technical nature for true "gear head purists , but most families are not that savvy in this area, thus the story line is what matters. And it's great. In today's Hollywood it would naturally be panned by those who not only shy away from anything to lean toward a righteous cause but run away. But for our family, we saw it at a premiere in Roanoke, Virginia, and it ended to great applause! The moral of the story was clearly seen. There was enough drama as well as some humor, John Schneider was great as were the rest. Mike Holmes did well and I felt the part fit him well. Watch it with the family. Don't worry about language...it's decent for a change.
Solid movie with good talent. CGI could have been better , or left out in the first place. Even with a low budget ... the race cars used were Wicked real life machines. The main actors were all likable and the cameos from a Rock Star and real world Drag Racer worked just fine. This is great Gearhead family entertainment.
