SPEEDINESS OF THE REVIEW MOVIE
If the NFS or GTA games make you feel the thrill of being an outlaw then this movie makes you feel like a jerk for liking that. Play The movie is trying to be both realistic and escapist and it doesn't work. By the homestretch, Need for Speed feels like the snuff film of racing movies. They generate more "That's horrifying!" reactions than "That's awesome!" ones. The film boasts some truly outrageous "you are there" stunts and action cinematography, but they ultimately have the opposite of their intended effect. Pretty much every character in this film is responsible for causing death or grievous bodily harm. Unlike the Fast & Furious movies which make you feel the liberation and exhilaration of fast cars and stunts, Need For Speed makes you feel horrified and guilty for finding any pleasure in watching what's essentially Vehicular Homicide: The Movie. You don't feel a need for speed watching this. In order to compete, Tobey and his crew, along with Julia (Imogen Poots), a rep for the owner of his high-performance Ford Mustang that Tobey will race, have to get across country in less than two days and with cops and bounty hunters out for them.
Tobey then seeks retribution against Dino the only way he knows how: on the streets, bitch! Long story short, Tobey and Dino end up competing in the DeLeon, an illegal race along the northern California coastline sponsored by Monarch (Michael Keaton), an enigmatic ex-racer-turned-Internet phenomenon.
