Joey Curtis' highly stylized Streets of Legend tells the story of a love triangle set in the world of street racing. Derek (Robert Beaumont) is a Caucasian young man who is an up-and-coming street racer with the nickname Quattro. His likability wins over a young woman named Noza (Brihanna Hernandez), whose devotion to her no-good boyfriend, Chato (Victor Larios), wavers after Chato violates his parole and must go back into prison. The project was shot on digital video. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Slightly overlong effort is full of striking, fresh visual interludes showing cars, speed and the sensations surrounding the scene.
Imagine Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's street-racing saga The Fast and the Furious transformed into a lyrical, stylized romantic tragedy and one would have some idea of what Joey Curtis' unsparing yet beguiling Streets of Legend is like.
It's more muscle than high-formula, and it clanks, sputters and spins out in its pedal-to-the-story medal style.
Neither fast nor furious.
An overly melodramatic romantic triangle ensues ... all of which takes a back seat to the more exciting scenes of roadsters buzzing along the 10 at speeds of 140 mph.
Interspersed are several aptly named drag races, completely devoid of dramatic substance, that are seemingly inserted into the script solely to show off helmer Joey Curtis' experiments with high-definition video.
The big finish... is uber-hokey and after a while the tricky effects become hard to take. There's definitely something here, but it would take 20 minutes of cuts to get to a point where a teenage audience... could sit still and enjoy it.
