Terrible film. The whole thing couldn't be more of a cliché if it tried. You have the rebellious teenager who doesn't like his step dad, truants school and who can't control his anger getting kicked out by his mother who's at wits end to go live with his distant and coincidentally alcoholic father who has a troubled past due to racing. He gets sent to a high school where he begins dating the girl who only became popular by dating the cocky and arrogant alpha racer. Big surprise this popular jerk comes into conflict with our protagonist. At a party (as if it wasn't clichéd enough)You also have the socially rejected nerds who excel at performance modifying and are befriended by the rebellious teen to everyone's surprise I'm sure.
The protagonist is played by Joseph Cross who was twenty five at the time this film was released and who looks nothing like a seventeen year old.
This film is like Never Back Down and Fast and Furious came together to produce a terrible mutant off spring that only just isn't ugly enough to be chained up in the basement.
The one redeemable factor about this film is the cars. As an avid car enthusiast I was pleased with the fairly vast variety of cars. However, I would have preferred to have seen more time spent showing the viewers the engine and inner workings of the cars the way the Fast and Furious franchise tends to.
