Storyline
Framed by an ex-partner for a murder he did not commit, Tobey Marshall, a financially struggling custom-car builder and street-racer, spends two years in jail thinking about one moment. Fresh out of prison he reacquires the fastest car his workshop ever built and sold, and seeks to enter a secretive and extremely high-stakes race known as The DeLeon. His purpose; redemption, recognition from the world of racing and to solve his problems. Yet all this fades in comparison to his driving reason. Revenge. Above all, revenge. This is a story about love, redemption, revenge and motor oil all swirled together, but above all; It's a story about fast, fast cars.User Reviews
I saw an advanced
screening of Need for Speed at NAS Pensacola for free and went in with
no expectations. I actually expected it to be really bad. But my hand to
god....it was awesome. There is not a dull moment in the entire movie.
With a countless number of street races, police chases, and car crashes i
was entertained throughout its two hour run time. But of course all of
this time spent on the action scenes comes at the cost of a well thought
out plot. It was pretty formalistic and predictable. but what did you
expect from a movie based off a racing video game? There were no stand
out performances by the actors but no one was bad either. Kid Cudi
played the comic relief and he did a lot better than i expected having
no prior acting experience. Overall if you're looking for a very intense
and entertaining movie this is it. Hopefully now Aaron Paul wont just
be remembered as "the guy from Breaking Bad".
