This movie is an absolute nightmare. I can not understand how they could manage to make such a bad movie. In fact, they almost deserve an achievement for how bad they have made it.
It's not the story that ruins the movie. Sure, the story is about as intelligent as George Bush, but that is not the akilees heel of this film. The akilees heel of this film is the director and the cinematographer. I can not understand how they can shoot and edit the film like this.
First of all, they use a lot of shaky cam, to make the driving seem intense. Unfortunately this does do anything else then make your head dizzy. It is so obvious that the cars are driving incredibly slow. This manes that the main theme of this film; Cars and driving. So 5 minutes in to the film, the backbone is already broken. Another thing that ruins the driving, is the sound. Most of the cars are roaring v8's, but most of the time they sound like a 1,6L Honda civic with a turbo.
The actors does an acceptable job. Sure, none of them play particularly well, but none of them play badly neither. The voices of the actors are in some scenes obviously captured inside a studio, and this really makes the actors seem a lot less believable.
My conclusion is that you should stay away from this movie. The movie doesn't capture any of the thrills you found in the first film. It is only an attempt to make a profit with as little expenses as possible.
