Need For Speed

This review may contain spoilers!

It's a film based off a video game that already has zero plot, what do you expect? I would give Need for Speed a 4/10.

This film had some great car chase scenes and stunts. The soundtrack for it was also incredible and heightened the film.

Aaron Paul, who played Tobey Marshall, was practically carrying this film on his own and he was doing a great job of it. Scott Mescudi, who played Benny, was a cool character and brought some of the only good humour to the film.

However Michael Keaton, who played Monarch, was the real driving power of this film. He fell into this role, bringing everything to a film that certainly did not demand it. He was absolutely refreshing everytime he was onscreen.

There was no good plot as far as this movie went. It's pacing was awful but not just that the plot itself had no substance to it at all.

Dominic Cooper, who played Dino Brewster, was an awful antagonist and just frankly not intimidating at the end of the day; you never believed he was going to win. Imogen Poots, who played Julia Maddon, was a romantic role that felt like one just for the hell of it. Rami Malek, who played Finn, was meant to be the comedic role of the film but he just became a cringeworthy character. Ramon Rodriguez, who played Joe Peck, was an uninteresting best friend role that no one should really care about. Harrison Gilbertson, who played Little Pete, was like watching a child actor inside an adolescent body I had no sympathy for him when his character died because I just did not care.
