A bad movie

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from it but, somehow, I still ended up watching the damned thing. Basically, a few years after ‘The Fast and the Furious’ was released, they thought they could recycle the same concept and replace the cars with motors. It might sound really stupid but, since  ‘The Fast and the Furious’ unexpectedly became one of the biggest franchises ever, it’s understandable that they might take this gamble. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the fact that it was so lame though. At least, there was a solid cast of B actors involved (Martin Henderson, Ice Cube, Adam Scott, Monet Mazur, Faizon Love, Justina Machado, Jaime Pressly, Christina Milian, Dane Cook) which was probably the reason why I checked it out but they all delivered some rather pathetic performances. Especially Ice Cube, the guy was never really subtle but he did deliver here his most hammy performance ever. You also never get a sense of space. I mean, I think it was half way through when one of the characters mentioned that they were in California, before that, I had no idea were the action was taking place. Indeed, they went from one location to another without any explanation whatsoever. The story was also really poorly put together. If I understand correctly, the main character came back from exile in Thailand and, then, randomly met his friends in the middle of nowhere? After that, they went to some motor convention or race or whatever, it was also completely unclear where they were. It was also so weird to see such motors obviously made for asphalt tracks being use for chases in the freaking deserts. Apparently, Joseph Kahn, a famous music video director, actually wanted to make fun of motorcycle racing with this directorial debut but the studio apparently didn’t give him creative control resulting in something really pathetic. Anyway, to conclude, this movie was really abysmal and you should probably avoid it.
