But what a waste of time.. Just another speeding car movie.. I love action stuff.. Reviews were great.
John Hamm, Kevin Spacey, phoned in their parts.. The part of Baby (the driver) was just a big nothing. The plot was a big nothing and the action sequences...? Seen them a mill;ion times before.

Before anyone gets pissed at me.. Remember Heat.. Now that was a freaking action film..

Has a bit of a Guardians of the Galaxy feel to it. Hamm and James were miscast, James sounds like nails on a chalkboard when she "sings", but Foxx is well worth the price of admission.

Roger Ebert gave it an absolutely glowing review but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

...but his web site is still posting movie reviews- they are obviously written by someone else now, though. I did not even realize it until you pointed this out!
