*****
Vroom!!! Vroom!!! Get set and go. Tobey Marshall [Aaron Paul]
a former race car driver who owns a garage in downtown New York, where he and
his team redesign fast cars. They race on the streets to earn big bucks, Dino [Dominic
Cooper] Tobey's rival in past gets him in a agreement to design a car project
in exchange for 25% of the selling price of $2 million, Tobey agrees to the deal.
They meet Julia, an Englishwoman who agrees to pay $3
million if the car can go over 230 mph and they strike the deal for$2.7
million.Dino brave’s Tobey and his partner Pete to race his father's three
illegally imported fast cars and he gets 75% and if he loses he pays 25% of the
Mustang sale.
As they race Dino tricks dash Pete's car and he gets kill in
the course as the car turns into a ball of flames. Tobey is caught for an
unintentional homicide and goes in jail for 2 years. The Drama unfolds into a
vengeance as the movie progresses towards climax.
The race of Tobey and Dino on the Pacific Coast Highway is stunningly
extraordinary and will leave you out of breath. Need For Speed delivers what
the title suggests but leaves you perplexed on the plot, as the screenplay sucks.
However the technical part of the film is flawless, as accurate sound designs
and the stunts of car mishap [especially when Pete’s car is shown flying in the
air and smashing down blow your minds off]. Video-game enthusiast may miss
their adrenaline rush.
