Bad message, crooked physics, not so carefully picked out expensive cars with dumb drivers, hot wheels in real life for adults "just doesn't work out.." "This is for kids but wouldn't recommend it for them cuz the message and the lack of common sense" "I could not see an adult or teen sit through this Bologna" "Big names but still is a ship with a big hole with everyone on bored and can't do much about the Situation/Story " 0.0 Stars.

This is probably the only movie that can contend with the F&F series (which is now complete trash). Unlike F&F, the stunts were real and it focused more on the actual racing and not how many times we need to see the driver manually shift the car. The car selection is not bad, but could have been more professional. For example, the Bugatti Veyron SS was not needed. It was just eye candy for the general public to see in the trailers and be encouraged to buy the movie. The movie also heavily endorses Ford, which is easily detectable from the auto show scene and because the main car that is driven is a high performance Mustang. A lot of kit cars were used, which is fine by me since a lot of high end expensive cars are wrecked. It would be a tragedy to the car world if they actually used the real cars and not kit cars. The plot dulls out a few times, mostly half way through the movie and at the beginning (before the street race). This relates to the actual NFS game series only a little bit. A few extra small street races would have been nice. Not the best car movie in the world, but it's better than F&F

I was afraid this was gonna be a movie that was gonna be horrible and trying to make profit simply by naming it after a popular video game, like soooooo many other movies that are out. It's not. Great story. Great scenes. Great characters. And AARON PAUL: hands down, one of my favorite actors. Even the "cheesy" scenes were good. 4/5. And I'm not even into cars. WATCH IT.
