This is both a bad film and a bad influence, and on many levels. Still, for all of its brainlessness, it somehow manages a train-wreck hold on attention.

While the premise creates plenty of entertaining opportunities for violence and destruction, how much better could this have been as a true "cannonball run" coast-to-coast..?

An orgasmic mix of on-road mayhem that plays at 1000 miles per hour! Marvel in some terrifically-choreographed stunt

Director Paul W.S. Anderson really isn’t known for Oscar contenders, but the guy understands over-the-top gratuitous violence better than most.
Nov 20, 2008
A must-see for petrolheads and cineastes alike.
Nov 7, 2008
There's some fine action, but the film never gets within spitting distance of breaking any taboos or taste barriers, which, for a schlock spectacle, is like racing within speed limits.
Oct 31, 2008

Oct 31, 2008
Petrolheads and gorehounds, this backfiring blast of cinematic carbon monoxide is your film of the year.
Oct 31, 2008
It's all pretty senseless and senseless is how I felt at the end of it all, after being party to a sadistic and deadly race that relies on the killing of its participants for its entertainment.

Anderson finds a few interesting angles from which to cover things, but there's nothing really memorable or original to wow jaded action fans.
Oct 18, 2008
The main problem with the new film is that it tries to make the whole thing credible, whereas the original never tried to make any sense.
