Review of The Wraith

The Wraith (1986)
6/10
After the first race you have seen it all.
25 March 2003
This movie focuses on a gang of thugs who race cars and take the cars of the losers. Apparently, the leader of this gang is very possessing of his girlfriend. So much so he and his gang killed this guy who had slept with her. Now, a bit of time later this mysterious figure is challenging the gang to races and winning. Well, let me just say that this movie has its moments, but it needed something more. For the most part the races were all very similar to each other. Even the big race between the wraith and the leader of the gang at the end was no different to any other race the wraith was involved in. And how the heck does this gang of thugs get away with so much? They should be behind bars, but for some reason the sheriff can't pin anything on them. There are quite a few flaws in this one, but overall it was an ok movie. There are some good scenes in it as well. Though at the end when the guy gave his car to the other guy it left me wondering "Wouldn't the cops be looking for that car?"
