User Reviews

Very generic and I will say that parts were exciting but the movie is just way too predictable to be fun to watch. I say B-

"It's been a long time since you've driven but you'll have to overcome your fear if you want to save her." Brent Magna (Hawke) is a former race car driver who is forced to steal a car and complete a series of tasks in order to save his wife. When the original owner of the car (Gomez) jumps in he now has two lives to save. SO...where to start. First of all this was actually way better then I expected it to be. That said this movie is very overdone and was very very repetitive. A mix of Speed and Twelve Rounds or really just a remake of Vehicle 19. As generic as this movie was I will say that parts were exciting and entertaining but the movie is just way too predictable to be all that fun to watch. Again though the movie was better then I was thinking it would be. Selena Gomez is falling into the all to familiar trying to break out of Disney formula. Seems like any former Disney star trying to be taking as more adult does movies where all they do is swear or show skin. This movie is really just a put in and watch type movie which isn't always a bad thing. The filmmakers really did this a disservice by making this an R rated movie. If it was PG-13 the Gomez fans would have been able to see it and the movie felt geared toward that crowd. Overall, too old for teens and too young for adult. A movie in no mans land that isn't sure what audience it wanted. I give it a B-.
