Rubbish

On my evening to myself, I thought I would watch Paul Walker's last film. I though, "Hey, it will probably be decent." I couldn't have been more wrong.

This movie is awful. It's hard for me to concentrate and pinpoint which element is the worst over the feeling of how abhorrent it is. I'll make it quick because it's hardly worth my words.

Collier is a apparently a bullet deflector. Nothing hits him when he is always dead center in the enemy's sights. So annoying.

The car scenes were so shoddy, showing the speedometer registering at 80MPH when it's clear to see the vehicle is really going about 30. At one point Collier and the french guy crash into a red Jeep Cherokee going 80 and the van doesn't crunch an inch. Oh, and in the beginning when Collier crashes the Greek's car into the barrier (also going 80) he seems fine and dandy and the airbag didn't even go off.

Tremayne's character is completely inconsistent, being such a stereotypical drug bully the entire movie until the end, where he has a sudden moral mid-life crisis and decides to run for mayor. Not to mention his acting is terrible, along with everyone else in this shipwreck. The acting is so flat I was bored out of my mind.

The girlie fight scenes were just an excuse to get a lot of up-skirt camera shots with a side of bouncy cleavage.

The story is drier than the Sahara, being a ho-hum revenge line with no morals ending in a turnaround propaganda-like, stick-it-to-the- man, power-to-the-people warm and fuzzy as Paul Walker drives through the streets waving to his thug buddies and blowing kisses to the schoolkids.

The ONLY semblance of a redeeming factor was the parkour. Too bad it was ruined by cheesy side-by-side backflips and excessive use of slow-mo. Any director who uses slow-mo more than twice in a movie is immediately discredited in my book.

Well look at that, I've spent twice as many words as I wanted to. This movie is trash; don't waste the electricity.
