Dragstrip Girl (1994 TV Movie)

Young thief falls in love with a rich girl, his whole world falls apart.

[3/10 · 15 August 2005]

I rated this movie 3, because it has a real weak storyline. The acting is... lets say under the average, not that the actors had a good chance with this script. O.K. Young, handsome guy steals cars without hurting anybody. He falls in love with a rich girl by just seeing her once, gets punched by her boyfriend. To impress her, he stops thinking, steals a new car and forgets his principles. On the second meeting... sex. Not that I say anything against sex... but this movie plays in the 50s! A relatively senseless car race ends all, the little brother of our "hero" being dead. I'm sorry, but that was far too weak for me. Almost everything was predictable, too many loose ends and not enough 50s feeling and style for a movie set in this time.
