While the doing things that will leave you scarred part of the story, has some nice ring to it (and initially plays out fine), this resorts and gets back to cardboard cut outs of people/characters, we might not feel comfortable having feelings toward. And I mean not feelings as in looks and beauty, but rooting for them.

I don't think there is a cliché not touched upon by this movie. And while the racing scenes have been handled nicely, we've seen those before too. But if that's all you're looking for, you might like this movie better than if you are looking for a story too. So the decision is up to you: Plain simple "action" (with good looking leads) or a deeper meaning (which you won't find here)?

I had very mixed feelings about this movie. The acting was at times sub-par (maybe on par for a Danish production) and the production was nothing special at all. The camera work was rather shoddy and left me wondering whether or not I could have done better myself. Yet the script wasn't bad, and the movie leaves me with an aftertaste that this may be more than what it seems at first glance. I definitely think that this movie will grow on me the next couple of years, and what I perceive today as imperfections may turn out to be hidden gems. Overall it's definitely worth a watch, and it's nice to see Zentropa bringing something like this to life, instead of being caught up in a safe recipe for success.
