Need for Speed
The film revolves around a local street-racer who partners with a rich and arrogant business associate, only to find himself framed by his colleague and sent to prison. After he gets out, he joins a New York-to-Los Angeles race to get revenge. But when the ex-partner learns of the scheme, he puts a massive bounty on the racer's head, forcing him to run a cross-country gauntlet of illegal racers in all manner of supercharged vehicles.

Thanks for the memories!
Lack of good storyline.
The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Might not have put my say in if i didnt see so many bad reviews... i dunno if someone payed people to write bad reviews or if someone put hate pills in everyones coolaid..not oscar winning movie but it was never ment to be. the movie is based on a video game but really has nothing to do with the movie other than the title.definatly easier to watch if you are a car enthusiast. the need for speed scenes are super totally tits. im not really a mustang enthusiast either. the one in gone in 60 seconds is nicer. why is this one not black?as for the cast. aaron paul did a great job. this is important since people thot he was only gonna be jesse pinkman forever. imogen poots is so hot i would drink her bathwater. ramen malek is usually pretty annoying, he was here too but thats what his character was supposed to be so it worked. kid cudi another rapper kanye started who is now an actor, basically played himself so it worked. dominic cooper great villian, he really feels like a douchebag. harrison gilbertson was a great little spider man. all topped off with great little snippits of michael keaton.haters gonna hate. a well rounded movie.
Truly awful, words can't describe how bad this movie is.
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!
