Better then the new one
16 February 2001
I did not like the new version. This film has a low budget, and the acting along with the story suffered. The whole budget had to be spent on the last fourty minute car chase. The begaining of the movie I give a 6 the middle a 2, the begaining of the car chase a 3, and as it went a 8. This movie is the car chase, and the whole story is nothing more then justifying the car chase. The begaining of the the car chase is very run of the mill, and done so often on tv please. BUT, as it progressed with the camera shot from the front of the car, the purr of the engine, the apeal approved. What sticks out of my mind in this film and saves it is the secene where the car jumps and they do a 3 way replay of the event, and choreographed it nicely. It is a thing of beauty. Especially when they put one scence with the car in the air and splice it back again with another. This part of the film is true brilliance. In the end I gave it a 6 worth watching if your bored and love cars.
