I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This felt like a cross between 'Need for Speed' and 'Fast and the Furious' with a touch of 'The Transporter' thrown in the mix. It was loaded with great music, and I absolutely loved the cars. The acting and dialogue was very cheesy, though, but the actors were likable enough. It was much better than 'Need for Speed', but not nearly as good as the first 'Fast and the Furious'. It seemed more aimed at a teenage demographic and not really for a mature audience. There were also way too many characters involved who did not really have roles. I found Clemens Schick rather good as Max Klemp. The action sequences were great, as well.

Half-brothers Andrew and Garrett have a lucrative business - stealing high-end classic sports cars to order for mega-rich clients. They make a mistake in stealing a car which a nominee has just bought at auction for murderous gang boss Morier. This puts them in danger of being murdered unless they can make amends by stealing cars from rival gang boss Max Klemp, which carries its own risks.This French film is very much in the mould of the original Transporter movie - crime caper, Mediterranean locations, lots of stunt driving and action. But its's not so much Fast & Furious, more Quite Quick & A Bit Cross.The only actor I had heard of was Scott Eastwood as the American brother, but all the performances were fine. The chemistry between the two brothers worked well. The plot had enough little wrinkles and sidetracks to please, the action was well-handled, and the film looked good.Let's not think too much about the morality of it, eh?This will be one which I will probably stick with if I catch it while channel-hopping.

Two car thief brothers, who journey to the south of France for new opportunities, wind up in the cross hairs of the local crime boss. Overdrive was a film that i was 0% excited, i was bored to even check on the trailer and i just saw it as another Fast and the Furious rip- off and although it is? It's actually pretty damn great? I loved the relationship between Scott Eastwood's and Freddie Thorp's characters, Ana De Armas has also grown on me more as an actress especially after her great performance in Blade Runner 2049. The film is full of non stop car chases, action, one liners and humor and basically my kind of stuff especially that scene in the airport was damn awesome. The acting is good for the kind of film it is and it has some great overall twists near the end that actually surprised me a lot and honestly i'm totally going to recommend you guys to check it out especially if you love fast cars, action and beautiful women. (A+)
