Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
If you want to see some ridiculous racing but great action scenes you have
to watch 'The Fast and the Furious' or the faster '2 Fast 2 Furious'. If you
want to see a little more than just that you can watch 'Accelerator'.
Although there is less action there is enough to enjoy here on other levels.
Basically the movie is a race from Belfast to Dublin. One team with leader
Johnny T (Stuart Sinclair Blyth) is always joy riding in one city, the other
team with leader Whacker (Gavin Kelty) always in the other city. Therefor
they choose for a race between the two cities. To enter you have to pay 200
Pound a car. Both teams exist of 6 persons and with two per car we have six
cars in the race. Three for every team. Every couple has to steal a car and
the first on a square in Dublin collects the money.
Of course things do not go as planned. What will happen is not really the
point. Some things are a little too much, but the movie is exciting, funny
and better than I expected it to be.
