In 3D! Never played the game. But that doesn't seem to matter. Here's we've got a simple story of revenge by way of illegal street racing, with an impromptu roadtrip romance thrown in for good measure.

Once again I gotta say how sorry I am for Imogen Poots getting handcuffed to these terribly one dimensional female love interest characters. Pity

If you're here for some nice cars driving fast, you're set. The Post-converted 3D is alright with a few standout shots that put you in the driver's seat.

But the rest of the film is not so great. Actually there's something damaged about the whole concept. Practically every person in the film is breaking the law and endangering lives. And the cops trying to stop them are faceless bad guys. Even if our protagonist wins and saves the day, he's still going to jail. The whole concept of glamorising this behaviour just made me feel kinda disgusting. I can't get on board with that.
