200 MPH (2011)

Very well executed

Excellent, a Must See

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This movie was the worst 1 1/2 hours I spent watching a movie this year.When the cars go around the corners you see that they are nothing more than computer generated cars.They look exactly like the cars on the computer screens that are computer generated.The whole movie I rate at 1/10 one(1) for the time it took them to think this garbage up.

God this movie is terrible. First off since when does a stock Nissan 350z cost 80 grand and have the same top speed specs as a Nissan GTR? Or when the girl mechanic says that the rx7 timing has been changed. How would one know the timing was changed in two seconds. Or what about those sketchy drift scenes that change from a Mazda RX7 to a Nissan 240sx? not to mention the action scenes that look like grand trismo on my Playstation 1. This movie is absolutely horrid! Oh and not to mention on my netflix description it states that the main character builds a Datsun 240z to race a drug dealer. Haha there wasn't a single Datsun in this entire film!? One star for sure I would recommend this movie to a stoner with lots of free time.

I am going to defend this movie; at least a little bit. It's yet another lower budget movie based on street racing, and lets face it no true gear head is ever happy with movies like this. Period. Knowing that this movie was a decent movie for the time, would i recommend you go out of your way to watch it? No, but if you have spare time go a head.Now to cover some of the things other reviewers have said...1. The Nissan in the movie was a 370z; not a 350z.2. The 370z costs $42,000 roughly in the form that it was in for the movie.3. The $90,000 car was the Nissan GT-R, not the 370z.4. They have always made the GT-R both left and right hand drive so having it as such is valid for whomever complained.Now, we all know movies are not true. The explosions we see are over done for special effects in action movies so why does it surprise you they stretch the truth for a car movie.

I'm not going to start out by saying this was the worst movie ever, the acting really wasn't horrible and the main characters were pretty good (except for the fact that the actor who played the cop was horrible).Honestly, one of the only reasons I am rating this movie a 3 is because the mistakes were quite fixable. They called cars random names (The Mazda RX-7 became a MX-5, then a MK-7...) I understand that budgets aren't always a blank check, but a good script and proper wording isn't something you need to pay for. In addition, the switching of cars got very annoying (not the names but the actual cars). While racing in the opening scene the Nissan 370Z turned into a completely different car, and when it was in the shop near the conclusion of the film it became one of the Infiniti G35s that was at the track at the beginning of the movie.The special effects were quite poor; you could tell when a car was a computer rendering and when it was an actual car being filmed. And in addition, it was quite obvious that while filming the cars were driving pretty slowly, although I will say that the post-production work to make the cars look like they were speeding wasn't terrible. Plus, living in Los Angeles, I know that there is no time during the day (or night) where there are absolutely no cars on the streets which were filmed, something that was implied and shown in portions of the racing scenes.Also, most likely the most obvious flaw with the movie was the fact that the director tried playing it off that a stock Nissan 370Z could even come close to racing a stock Nissan GT-R (Skyline). The GT-R is legitimately the faster, better, stronger version of the Z. It would be like racing a BMW 328i against a BMW M3 or a Porsche Carrera against a Porche GT3-RS... one car is meant to be better than the other(especially when the two cars are made by the same company).The movie would have honestly been a little bit more believable if the main character raced a super-modded older 'rice-rocket' as they call it against the GT-R (even though the amount of money it would take to make any of those cars even able to stay with a GT-R would be more money than a Nissan GT-R costs in the first place). I will say it was a nice try to be a Fast & Furious movie, but it just didn't come close (a special effects helicopter flying under a bridge, come on!) Yet, to end on a positive note, the acting (other than the cop...) wasn't that bad at all and the actors have potential. I would say the faults and foibles were in the scripting and the post-production, not the acting.
