The racing sequences are amazing (especially the sound), but the crashes were obviously staged by someone why doesn't understand how cars crash (wildly exaggerated). Penelope Cruz is a revelation and steals every scene she's in. Adam Driver requires you constantly suspend your disbelief (his acting is fine, he just doesn't look anything like Enzo - hard to understand how he was cast - I kept seeing Kylo Ren). This isn't a bad movie, but it's a melodrama about Enzo and his Wife/Mistress/Son/business, not a movie about racing. Unfortunately that melodrama isn't presented in a compelling, gripping manner. It's unfortunate, as they obvs had a ton of budget. It is GORGEOUS to look at!

Honestly I thought this was a fun movie until Steve Harvey showed up. And even then unthought it was fun. Until the condiment scene. The only way this scene makes sense is if Harvey wrote it himself, because that's about the best he can do. Fun movie - just FF past the Steve Harvey bits or you'll feel insulted.

I can't stand Amanda always protecting her narcissistic sister, Kim, even when Kim basically frames her for murder. "She's my sister." NO. ONE. ...would continue to protect such a toxic sibling. This relationship is the worst writing across the entire L&O universe. They need to write an ep where Kim gets hit by a bus and dies a lingering painful death.
