Top Reviews Review created: 21/06/07 by: 15 of 15 people found this review helpful. As you can see from my reviews there are no half measures. I either love them or hate them, but then again I normally only watch the genres i like. This film is full of action and is extremely entertaining. I think it is one of Cage's better films. It has fantastic cars, great race scenes and a good cast. i would probably give this 9 out of 10. Plot - Car theft in Long Beach went down 47% when Randall "Memphis" Raines walked away from the life. He gets dragged back into it by assuming the job his brother Kip screwed up for stolen-car broker Raymond Calitri: steal 50 exotic cars and have them on a container ship by 8 AM Friday morning, and he got this news on a Monday. With Calitri threatening to kill him and Kip, and the police GRAB unit breathing down his neck, Memphis reassembles his old crew and attempts to pull off the logistically impossible.

This film starts off with an action sequence with the them steeling a porche, the only thing is that they're a bit cocky and try and race in a stolen car; of course they get caught. This means that they manage to flee the police but they've just messed up a job with serious consequences, they will be killed if the job is not done by sum1 ie older brother (ex car theft hero),u can sense where this going cant you.... This is a thrilling exciting film with not oscar style acting butits still gud, as the plot and most of all the cars make up for any blemishes (if any ). I recommend this film to any1 as its fast exciting and its got cool cars dam it! Oh and u get a feeling that these are pros not just petty criminals.

This is a must if you like to be on the edge of your chair watching a high octane action film, main star is Nicholas Cage with many other top stars. Can it be done 50 cars with his crew in one night to save his brother's life. Kip Raines, a young car thief, was contracted to steal 50 specific cars but something went wrong. Now the man who hired him, Raymond Calitri, wants his head. When his brother, Memphis, once a great car thief, who retired a few years ago, learns of this, he comes back to town to see if he can help his brother. The only thing that will appease Calitri is if the order is fulfilled. So Memphis has to assemble his old crew, and he has to do the job in a few days. And a cop who hounded him, upon learning of his return, is keeping an eye on him. And another car thief, whom he competed with before wants to get the Calitri job, and is telling Memphis to back off, but he won't. Review ID: 10000000008801835 Was this review helpful?

Memphis Raines has to return to the job he gave up before to save the life of his younger brother.if he doesn't his brother will die. He only has 3 days to do it. Will he pull it off? A movie that you will never get tired of watching. Review ID: 10000000008787476 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
