Need for Speed (2014)

Please don't spend money on this.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

If you liked "Fast and Furious" movies, then you will definitely also like "Need For Speed".The movie had a fairly good cast, except for Aaron Paul whom seemed very unfit for a role such as that. It was nice to see Dominic Cooper, Michael Keaton and Rami Malek perform in the movie though.There is lots of fast car scenes throughout the course of the movie, although they were rather unrealistic much like "Fast and Furious".Funny how there weren't any police or state troopers along the ride, all the way to California, especially since they were driving so fast all the time."Need for Speed" suffers from a very predictable storyline and it was rather shallow in contents. But other than that, it was actually good brainless fun and entertainment.

This film might have stood a chance if it didn't feature so many unrealistic Ford Mustangs and Aaron Paul's less than poor acting... his massive forehead penalizes this film even further.There is nothing good about this film. Skip it at any cost.

I have mixed feelings towards this movie. I loved it and it was fun. I wasn't expecting much, after all, it's not supposed to be Oscar material. Plus, Aaron Paul was as cute as ever in this.The action is decent, and the premise is simple. Some things about the plot really don't make any sense and get a little annoying over time. But whoever's played the video games, especially the "newer" ones, from 2005 and on, knows that they also have that there. The NFS for cell phone also has this stupid "story" that no one cares about. But for the record, some things that annoyed me were:1 - One dimensional characters; 2 - Dakota Johnson pre-50 Shades hasn't really changed at all, it's just as if she's already playing Anastasia, dull and dumb all the way, dating the rich douche; 3 - 45 hours of cross-country driving and no one needs to pee or eat? Only one refueling and one gas stop? OK... 4 - Hey, lend me your 2.5 million car so I can destroy it! 5 - The chase in the desert was ultra stupid (how did they know they were there?) 6 - And, the worst part of it all, the truck crashing into them and leaving. I mean, WTF??? In downtown SF?? Really? And nobody saw that? It was completely pointless and unnecessary. If he needed a new car, they could've found some problem in the Mustang, or whatever.Overall, I enjoyed it a lot, but I would like more character development. And please adapt MOST WANTED! It's THE BEST!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one. I never played the game, but I was interested. Need For Speed is comparable to Fast and Furious. There is a villain and Tobey Marshall is out to clear his name. In my opinion, NFS is better. The racing and excitement start at the beginning and continues throughout as Marshall is drawn into a cross country race. The cast is excellent as well with Michael Keaton (one of my favorites), Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper. If you haven't seen this yet, check it out!
