Right off the bat I have to say that I absolutely loved this film…And if you’re wondering why…well first of all, it’s about cars…But not just any old car…This film is about hot, sexy, super fast, racing cars…

I’m talking…Muscle cars and Europeon super cars….

From America, we have Mustangs, Shelby GT500, 69 Ford Gran Torino, 68 Chevy Camaro…and from Europe…

Some of the most gorgeous cars ever made….

Lamborghinis, Sesto Elemento, a GTA Spano, a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren P1 and a Saleen 57.

Many of these rare cars, were featured in the video game that this film is based on…

But Need For Speed, directed by Scott Waugh is not just about a bunch of magnificent cars being raced around a track. There is a story and it’s a really entertaining and exciting one..

Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul from ‘Breaking Bad’) runs his family’s auto shop and races the underground street circuit with his friends on the weekends.

Even though, he’s struggling financially, life is good for Tobey, but it doesn’t take long for all that to change.

One day, Tobey’s former nemesis, the wealthy, pompous, Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) stops by his garage and offers him a

once in a lifetime opportunity…To build the fastest Mustang in the world, which would give Tobey financial windfall, that he needs to save his business. So even though Tobey can’t stand Dino, he

Following the completion of the Mustang and its subsequent sale, to a big time car broker, via his beautiful, but opinionated British colleague, Julia (Imogen Poots) Dino challenges Tobey to an impromptu race which ends in disaster.

Not wanting to give too much away, I’ll just say that Tobey is sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

When he gets out after serving two years, there’s only one thing our guy wants…Vengeance…And boy, does he get it.

‘Need For Speed’ is a story about friendship, loyalty, revenge and ultimately redemption.

The film was written by John Gatins and his brother George who own an auto shop in Van Nuys Califronia, where they restore classic cars and they’ve delivered a screenplay that is a character driven story set against the backdrop of street racing.

The film which opens in theatres, Friday March 14, 2014 is intense and exciting. Even if cars aren’t your thing, the relationship between Tobey and Julia is enough to keep you entertained.

I gave ‘Need For Speed’ 4 bagels out of 5. Check out our video for more of my thoughts.
