Watched this film for the first time last night.I was expecting a lot of car chases, guns and sex... what I got was lots of guns, a couple of car chases and not much sex, but that, for me, was a good thing.
Not being into action films that much, it was quite refreshing that the story line wasn't too in depth and complicated, it was simply "Steal 50 cars and your brother lives". Easy enough to follow.
The car chase at the end was a great sequence, if not a tad over done but I enjoyed watching it and actually found myself quite intently watching it.
The relationship between the main character and his love for cars is frequently refered to, especially at the end when his brother buys him the car he loves just as a thank you for saving his life. A very warm and pleasent ending to an emotional and comic film.
There are various stereotypes that are fulfilled, what with the token black man saying stuff like "my black ass" and "what up?", and of course, the pin-up Angelina Jole working as the bad girl and sex interest.
Over all, I enjoyed the film and found it not too much to take in on a Sunday night with your mum.
6/10
