Really thought I would love the film. But got bored both times so far.....
Going to try again. Oh yeah WTF about the plate on the car that pops it's rivets???????? Why the plate and why riveted.
And remember boys and girls, only Amatures use NOS.

Tell me if you think i'm wrong, but it's basically Point Break on Wheels

Good film, but IMO PB was better (music/visuals etc..)


Callum

P.S. Got mine from www.play247.com in December, cost 15gbp

Make sure you buy it Region 1 - DTS sound

Much better than 5.1 region 2

set my expectations low and still thought it was cack, cack, cack!

did you care about any of the characters??? the makers didnt you never even find out what happens to half of them (bloke shot by trucker? kiddy shot by drive by???) and why did he let the bloke go at the end???? cause he gave him a job as a spanner??? some cop he was???

do yourselves a favour and rent point break (and get a copy of max power if neon lights and cars doing wheelies is your thing)

Its a tongue in cheek film - but very very fun to watch all those riced up cars going for it. Sounds amazing with my Yamaha DTS amp and KEF satellites.

Biggest pile of ****e I've ever spent $10.00 on. Don't even like the cars. Some actor kid bought the Jetta for $100,000.00, what's that all about!

JGM,

If you have to edit it to get the corner, it doesn't count

Shaun,

I was saying that copied/downloaded films are pants anyway and why would anyone want one? (that didn't have to be deleted?)

Matt
