Street Racer (2008)

Good concept, poorly executed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

THis is a GOOD BAD MOVIE. This is the definition of it.It's so bad it's good.This movie was bad but with some charm in it.Yes it has bad acting, poor dialogue and a low budget. But turn your brain off and it is not un-watchable.It is quick moving, never boring and while clichéd and adds nothing new, the bad acting and poor acting makes it a fun watch.It's Asylum movie, but it is also entertaining and if you love cars, and like RIFFS, this movie is for you.I give it a 5 out of 10.

The only thing i have to say other than this movie being the(hands down) worst movie i've ever seen, and sad to say ill never get this hour and odd minutes of my life back...Apart from that, LMFAO to the douche bag who says "I don't race ricers" trying to imply it to a "m5 swapped" 525i as he's leaning on a bright yellow HONDA S2k.. F*CKING TOOLThe writers should have really done some more research into what they were trying to make a movie about. I couldn't even imagine what drugs someone was on to approve the script for this movie.The only positive thing/good thing about this movie were the blue Supra and the red Skyline at the end.. I'm surprised i didn't see them cast a Daewoo Lanos into that jalopy of cars..

Pros:-- Story's uninspired, but not so bad. Same goes for cinematography and direction.-- Lead actor playing "Johnny" is trying so hard to be Brad Pitt, it's almost charming. You'll find yourself saying, "Aww, look at the guy trying to be Brad Pitt…"-- I love this guy "Red," the auto junkyard owner who trains Johnny in racing. He's so authentically and simultaneously grizzled and whimsical, you'll think he's the child of an unholy union between Nick Nolte and Michael J. Pollard.-- The actor who plays rival racer "Mickey Stiles" is obviously coked up throughout the whole movie. No one's that good an actor. But it works. Keep this actor on coke. (BTW, IMDb says he's the freakin' voice of "Putt Putt" from my kids' video games!)Cons:-- The racing scenes are so obviously shot in fast motion you'll half expect Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax" to be playing in the background.-- But you won't hear "Yakety Sax" because the same nondescript hip-hop song, which consists of nobody rappers yelling, "WHAT AROUND HERE!" over and over, underscores every race. As if it means something. But it doesn't.-- Daniel's father and sister are obviously somebody's relatives or friends. Actors this bad and ugly don't get cast without knowing a producer or somebody.-- Helicopter turn-by-turn in the last race comes out of nowhere with no explanation, while the view from helicopter shows no race at all, just some highway traffic. Who are they? Radio traffic reporters? Cops? And why do they talk like surfer dudes?-- Final, climactic racing scene comes and goes so quickly, you won't even realize it, because it consists almost entirely of close-ups of drivers yelling, "Come on! Come on!"-- Bad guy parole officer is so suitable a dou©ebag that you want him to really get it at the end. But when it finally happens, you won't stop laughing. Really, hours later, you won't stop laughing.Final verdict: I bought "Street Racer" for a buck from a Blockbuster that was going out of business, knowing full well that stocking movies like this helped put Blockbuster out of business. It was worth a buck and 90 minutes of my time. It will be on a blanket in my driveway at my next tag sale.

First of all; Why put a 2009 Nissan GTR on the cover, when a MID 90s model was used in the film. The actors/actresses were horrible, I didn't even recognize any of them...perhaps they are all beginners!! The Cars used in this film were whacked, and the races were poorly put together. The races looked slow, and why the hell would you race a SCION XB(with hubcaps) and a old 5series BMW(looked plain). At least make the cars look beefed up, put some after-market rims on them. Everything just looked awful, and poorly directed. The story is just plain out weird and disorganized. I think that the only plus side to this movie, is the hot actress....But thats all I can say good about this film.....I would never recommend this film to anyone, unless they've never watched television before.....
