Enjoying this film is a matter of turning your brain off, a challenge that is pressing, and grows more so as the skull of the film, with the plot, thickens, but is doable, made easier by a cast that is probably more than this film deserves. That is way, way, way too blasted long for a film this light in weight, which tries way too hard to endear viewers, but only distances them further with the excessiveness that, by contrast, emphasizes the lazy ludicrously, thinness and well, stupidity, of this utterly inconsequential, paint-by-numbers action flick. No matter how fun, this film is nothing if not lame-brain, and yet, it still manages to be convoluted, forcing the shifts in its plotting, and crowbarring in one predictable element after another, bloating the film exhaustingly, until it comes out to a runtime of exactly 130 minutes.

I must admit that the quintessential death of a friend which wraps up this motor flick's development segment is nailed with surprisingly thorough effectiveness, but beyond that, the cloying sentimentality in Scott Waugh's direction only stresses how melodramatic this story is, that is, when dramatic elements are actually forced over a preposterous plot that only gets more ridiculous as it progresses, with over-the-top, overly dangerous action and an improbable series of events. There's not any real juice in this brainless and weightless story concept, which is fluffy, and well-handled and fun on that level, but is essentially nothing special, with a great deal of laziness, and when the film tries, it tries too hard. Well-portrayed though they may be, the characters are very hard to get invested in, for they are so stock, disingenuous and, well, improbable, being consistent heights in clichés that never seem to abate in this paint-by-numbers gearhead fluff piece which does virtually nothing new with its handling of inconsequential subject matter. George Gatins' script is as spotty as anything in this somewhat lazily basic action flick, and if it fails to get flimsy with storytelling, then it can always fall back on ludicrous set pieces and trite dialogue, punctuated by some forced and cornball comic relief which, for all its charm, rarely ameliorates the lazy sense of conventionalism that is almost more prominent within the characterization. and maybe to see if the Batmobile shows up, but don't go in expecting anything nearly as good as "Breaking Bad", or, well, as smart. Speaking of which, it's not like the popularity of this game series matters, because you know that most people are going to see this film to see Aaron Paul in something whose title references speed of some sort.
Jeez, I say that like people still remember "Act of Valor", or this video game series, for that matter, although, in all fairness, I don't exactly keep up with video games too much, and it even took me forever to get around to "Breaking Bad". This is fan service to somebody, and it's likely more of one to "Breaking Bad" fans than it is to fans of this video game, because seriously, movies based on video games haven't had that good of a track record, and this director is the same guy who did "Act of Valor". probably back to life in this film, probably to trick that one idiot into thinking that the Batmobile will show up or something. For goodness' sake, they brought Michael Keaton. I don't know if there's any "just happens to" about this film's casting, because there's no way Paul didn't get ahold of this script, see the title, and then join the filmmakers in breaking out into a lung-cramping laugh. or just a film based on the video game "Need For Speed" that just happens to feature Aaron Paul (Walker! It is a rip-off!).
I don't know if this film is a rip-off, but it's either a spin-off to "Top Gun", or "Need for Speed: The Continuing Adventures of Jesse Pinkman".
