The roar of the engine, the speed of the hurricane

I admit that I am not a drag racing material, and I am usually cautious. But I also like the scene of blood racing, the roar of the engine, and the extreme speed can really make the adrenaline rush. I have also played the game of Need for Speed, and my level is very rookie, but I am still stubborn and caught by the police again and again. The Fast and Furious series is getting more and more nonsense. It seems that the Need for Speed ​​series is going to take over the banner of drag racing movies.
The story is very simple. The talented driver Toby Maguire runs a modified car shop in a small town. The business is not good, but he has a group of brothers to help. However, he and karting driver Dino Brewster have a hatred for wives because of their vain girlfriends. Facing the threat of bankruptcy, Toby reluctantly took Dino's order for modified cars. However, Dino, who was going to default on his debts, proposed to bet on the game, and caused an accident in the game that led to Pete's death, and finally falsely identified Toby. After being released from prison, Toby was determined to take revenge. He gathered all his friends and escaped the pursuit of the police and bounty hunters, and arrived at the Lyon Cup competition site in time. After the car was crashed, he stole Dino's car to participate in the Lyon Cup, beat Dino with a trick, and got him punished.
In fact, I don't know what the plot of Need for Speed ​​is at all, I only know that the picture quality is good, and there will be police cars to chase. Thanks to the director for putting it on the big screen, and making up a story that is old-fashioned but can be justified, and you can find the long-lost pleasure in the roar of the engine.
The opening street Lyon Cup can only be regarded as a warm-up and a small test. The hurricane of the three Koenigseggs in silver, white and red is getting better, but the duration is short, and driving in the wrong direction is still more thrilling. Then half of the time, the Ford Mustang GT became the absolute protagonist. Whether it was a sudden turn on the street, or the most exciting two-lane grasshopper jump in the whole film, or a long-distance rush, it all reflected the excellent performance of this car. Of course, it also gave the audience a thrilling and exciting viewing effect. In the final battle, it was replaced by Koenigsegg, and the Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Sixth Element, McLaren P1, GTA Spano and Saleen S7 started an explosive racing car. The siege by the police, the crushing of the opponent, and the violent shaking all make the audience feel immersed in the scene. It can be said that the director is still very dedicated, he has put in real effort, everything is to make the audience have a perfect sense of substitution and tension.
It's a perfect drag racing movie, don't dare to ask for more, look forward to the second one.

He went on to race in the big leagues at Indy, and Toby just kind of fell through the cracks. Well, here's some news, cretins. Tobey's been running again, and running fast. Real fast, fast as that "Grim Taquito" will take him. Tobey, you wanna fly with the eagles, you need bigger wings, son.
