A good friend of mine is a big fan of this movie, so I got curious and watched one night... it basically plays like a cheesy 1980's action TV show, stretched to 90 minutes.
It's not incredibly cinematic, and the writing is so/so, the problem coming more from a director who was inexperienced with film, than the actors, I think.
However, the reason it's worth checking out-- and my friend will agree-- is the accuracy of car information shown in the film. Primarily, Sheen's character is a big fan of Porsche and this film points out, quite accurately, intimate details of the Porsche design, and it's superiority over American cars.
If you find yourself disagreeing with that statement, you should probably check out this movie. The scene with the Camaro chasing the Porsche pretty much sums it up.
Oh, and the ending is a total cop-out. Horrible. The rest of the movie is worth a look, though, if you're into either cars or Charlie Sheen.
6/10
