Need for Speed
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Aaron Paul as a revenge sermon-spouting racer, Dominic Cooper as his evil(?), sleazy rival, and Imogen Poots as dead girl.
Scene Pop: I like it when the car goes boom. Honestly, nothing.
Briggs Breakdown: 6 wrecked cars, 2 head-on collisions, 1 punch, 1 kid running with gasoline (better not trip!), a shotgun blast to the rear window, and bad CGI car flipping.
Effective?: No. Too strange and somber for a racing flick.
Check it Out?: I don't think so. This is supposed to be an adaptation of the popular video game series, which has fallen into stale luster for some time, and they gear it as a darker version of The Cannonball Run.
