I’m a sucker for car racing movies, which means that occasionally I wind up watching terrible examples of the genre. Such as this one.
The protagonist is an arrogant, brooding guy who’s out of control because of his brother’s racing-related death. There’s a girl racer who hates racing and loves nature. There’s some stuff about the physics of making tight turns. There’s some back and forth about risk-taking (bad) and teamwork (good). Lots of vroom vroom on the track.
It all felt amateurish, exaggerated, and overly long.
Oh well.
Hard to beat Herbie for goofy nostalgia or Speed Racer for epic weirdness.
