Reel Talk:
This is not by any means a great movie but it was actually entertaining. Kinda like Mad Max and the Condemned combined. Something about Statham and fast cars, seems like that's the roles he attracts the most. Like I mentioned this was an entertaining movie, with a lot of action and a little bit of gore. If you're an action junkie with a need for speed, this is a worth while movie.
