Need for Speed
Need For Speed is a fast-paced and visually stunning action drama loosely based on the popular series of video games. The story surrounds Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a street racer who is released from jail for a crime he didn’t commit and races interstate intent on retribution.
The low-calibre cast and cheesiness of this unoriginal and outlandish script don’t detract from the enjoyment, as moviegoers are constantly on the edge of their seats. The explosive, action-packed, octane-charged car racing sequences and death defying stunts deliver an exhilarating and satisfying film.
Need For Speed is quintessentially a re-working of the phenomenally successful Fast & Furious franchise. The incredible popularity of these video games and car culture films should transform this into an enormous hit ensuing a sequel. (MM)
