Need for Speed follows Tobey Marshall on a quest to avenge his friend's murder in a high-profile street race.
After watching it, I would say it met all my qualifications for a racing movie: fast cars, high action, a love story, a bromance, and a revenge plot. If you like racing movies, just watch it. It has some of the most amazing cars I've seen in this kind of film. This movie wasn't about regular street cars.
There was a Bugatti Veyron SS
And a Koenigsegg Agera R
And even this Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.
Having those cars gave it a different edge than most racing movie.
Questions that remained when the credits rolled:
How could Benny fly helicopters and planes over major cities without being shot down by the armed forces? This is post-9/11. There is no way he could fly that freely. What do you think?
Why did they need to be ridiculously reckless at all times? There was no need to put so many innocent lives at risk. I hate when regular civilian are reduced to props and no people each time they run a red like or drive in to incoming traffic. My brain doesn't work in that way.
There was no prize. Cars can not be the only winning if they can be destroyed leaving the winner with nothing. The De Leon was a cool idea, but is stupid without a real prize. Bragging right will not make me put my two million dollar car in the race.
Overall, I liked it and I would watch it again on Netflix.
