It could've been a LOT better movie. I give it an overall 6 out of 10. Good points were some of the action sequences (liked the SWAT team busting into that japanese dude's house and holding a knee to his throat), bad points were the number of subplots (OH GOD!) and how they danced around the fact all of the cars were rice. Not one American car in there except that ol' Dodge. Whoever mentioned that NOS had a hold on the movie is absolutely right. Probably trying to get the message to ricers that they can make their cars a little faster with nitrous. Most ricers probably didn't even know that. Now that the message is out ya think we should run for cover?!?

Those races were drawn out for the purpose of making the movie, plain & simple. A 15+ second race (which I'm sure it would've been) wouldn't be cool for a movie. Checking his email at 140, hahaha.
