Trading Paint

If a movie doesnt draw me in by 20 minutes or so, it most likely won't. i gave this one till halfway point, which was enough for me. Travolta seems to be doing a string of pointless low standard movies, and michael madsen hasn't been in a decent one for years, that should have been an alarm bell. Thought i recognized shania twain , although i hadn't known she was in it prior. Scenes with her were lifeless to wooden, she's no lady gaga. all in all, a pointless movie, unrealistic, zero substance, uninteresting, lifeless scenes and acting...yawn give it a miss.

...you enjoy seeing cars go around and around a track. This was a decent C-grade novice production that I'm guessing Travolta did someone a favor in starring in. The director and both writers have little experience, and it shows in this film with flimsy writing and poor directing of the cast. The acting was decent considering, and it was great to see the lovely Shania Twain in her first full length feature film, and she did quite well. Travolta nailed it as did Toby Sebastian, and the rest of the cast were all convincing in their roles, although some of the redneck Alabama accents seemed out of place. The camera work was good, the films length and pacing decent, but the story lacked anything memorable. Not a bad film if you're into this type of racing in the Alabama backwoods of Talladega. For a novice C-grade film, it wasn't great nor bad, considering some of the bigger production films that have come out lately that were garbage. It's a well deserved 6/10 from me.

I give Travolta credit, he is trying his best to do something and, no one, I mean NO ONE knows what he is trying to do but him.

All of his newest movies have found there way on to Amazon Prime Video. I go into all of them with the best intentions and while I find them mildly entertaining they are all predictable and aren't really going anywhere. Trading Paint is no exception. Trading Paint isn't the Crow 2 bad. But it's not very good either.

I am really left scracthing my head on this one.I don't know. I just don't know

Rednecks complete with mobile home, fake accents, and 4-cylinder sound effects. Predictable, elementary, embarrassing for veteran actors, but ok for simpletons. Too much cheese and too fake. I watch real racers on Youtube with real sound from the cars, no hair plugs or Botox, and better stories for free. Barely made it through, but I made it.

I'm not surprised by this horrendous movie. It is tough to make a realistic racing movie, but the directors could have at least done their homework on how it all works. One scene that sticks out at the end is they are waving the checkered flag, yet saying 1 lap to go. John Travolta must have done this a favor because it is absolute trash. Don't waste your time.
