“To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix , I thought I might as well check it out. Well, at least, it wasn't a shameless copycat of 'The Fast and The Furious' but that's probably the only positive thing about this movie. Seriously,  to make a movie about a video game is usually a bad idea but to make a movie about a race video game was even worse.

Three years later, nothing has happen and it seems like unlikely that a sequel is going to happen."

" With a history of rather bad film video game adaptations, Need for Speed comes across as one of the better ones so far. It might not have a proper story, and it's certainly full of clichés in the plot, character development and overall film language. But Need for Speed really delivers where it's supposed to deliver. It delivers speed. So by that, Need for Speed is an entertaining and thrilling experience. By completely dodging CGI and focusing on real stunts and effects, you really feel the i"
