I wish I could get back the time I spent on this movie, how it even has a 5.8 imdb rating baffles me, may have something to do with the hot female lead and the car racing, more like a bland version of the fast and the furious with absolutely no plot or story line. It is frankly a convoluted mess with the lead male actor Alex Gonzalez having a perpetually annoyed look in the movie with no emotional range, he is also written as a flaky guy who will run out on a stable relationship given the chance, yes it is later revealed that perhaps his fiancee has made him change, mind you for the better, but this guy still wants to live in his bad boy phase. Then comes in the hot female lead who tries to capture the allure of a femme fatale, but the best she comes close to is a character who likes a bit of thrill here and there she cannot hold her own in this movie. The only character who made this movie bearable was played by the now famous Narcos actor Alberto Ammann, he has such a strong screen presence that the male lead in this movie Alex Gonzalez simply falls flat, Alberto Ammann makes this movie as the antagonist with a brain on his head. Also, I really disliked the message of this movie especially the ending, what is up with this movie, it feels like a promotion for infidelity and betrayal, completely lacking in reality, what would have been more interesting is if the two leads had been busted in the end, but this movie lacked any character to be honest. Watch it if you want to see what badly written movies are.
