This was a surprisingly good film. It's an adaptation of a video game but it's a movie that could stand on its own without any knowledge of the video game.
I, like many others I'm sure, came in with low expectations. I thought I'd give it a shot and if I didn't like it after 10 minutes I was going to find something else. But guess what? Thirty minutes in I found myself engaged and still watching. There was a seriousness and sincerity about it I didn't expect.
I was so surprised at how much I liked it that I came here on IMDB to see why. I discovered Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9, did this. And I learned it was based on a true story. No wonder I had the sense this film was made with care and attention to realism.
With your basic underdog story, a likable character and some really intense racing scenes, you have a very entertaining film.
The filmmakers did a good job with this one. Give it a chance. They won't make a fool out of you.
