Street Racer (2008 Video)
1/10
Ay Karumba!

Watching Street Racer with an open mind and fairly low expectations I still found the film to be terrible in all regards. You may think that considering it's The Asylum that you know it's going to be so, but at the same time you are curious to see if any of their movies are watchable. So far of the twenty or so I've seen(so far, yeah I know but there's something compulsive about the awfulness of these movies), none of them have been, and Street Racer is no exception. While not quite bottom 5- Alien Origin, Titanic II, 2010: Moby Dick, AVH: Alien vs. Hunter and Transmorphers- it is a contender for bottom 10. The lead actor Clint Browning actually tries his best and is decent, but the rest of the acting, especially from Connor Clayton, is awful, full of over-acting or phoning in. The characters and script do nothing in their favour this said, the characters are annoying cardboard cut-outs and the script is unbearably stilted and goes well overboard with the profanity. The story is blandly and predictably told, with a stupid death scene for the villain, characters, props and plot points cropping up and disappearing with no explanation and a very rushed ending. The races have no excitement or drive to them and are further disadvantaged by extremely amateurish editing and camera work. I couldn't even appreciate the car models, which didn't even look that expensive anyway, because of this. The music is nothing special coming across as generic and forgettable. Overall, a film about cars with nothing new or exciting. 1/10 Bethany Cox
