OVERDRIVE is a B-movie action flick which sees Scott Eastwood wasting his talents in a movie which is a complete clone of the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise. A couple of unlikely car thief brothers are tasked with, well, stealing a car from a rival crime boss, but the usual shenanigans play out and it becomes a desperate race for survival. Despite the nice-looking high definition photography, the presence of Eastwood (looking more like his dad than ever), and some very nice classic cars, this low budget oddity is something of a dud. It feels drawn out and cheap all the way through, and nothing that occurs is particularly thrilling. The best scene is undoubtedly the opening sequence, which has some great stunts and effects, but it appears that that's where all the money went because the rest doesn't match.
