Yet another attempt, rather bankrupt, in search of the formula that has made certain movies extremely successful, traveling with very little grit and very low narrative ambitions the road of the automotive genre in cinema the already asphalted and traveled with knowledge of the by the now historical, mainly in the field of pure entertainment, saga of "Fast and Furious". The result is a useless film to which eats the elegance that desperately seeks, the grit necessary to entertain and a personality that could have made him at least distinguishable. The main problem is the unawareness of the director, who seems to have never understood what kind of film he should have shot. "Overdrive" rather than a gripping action film resembles a long advertising that can be perfumes, cars or simply clothing, in short, everything but a movie. If only Antonio Negret had paid more attention to the development of the plot, which is extremely trivial and hasty, or even just the same attention that he used to continuously frame the surrounding environment and faces as well as the bodies of the various actors, the film could also to work, let's say that the plot is also vaguely interesting and could have given rise to a film at least for entertainment. Even the cast is not at all helpful with the trivial and cloying interpretations and with a Scott Eastwood who seems to be trying to cover up his surname from film to film. It must also be said that the screenplay proves to be a major obstacle for them, with an extremely superficial writing of characters, an equally superficial characterization and an initial presentation of them that is extremely didactic and irritating. In short, the film is missing a lot of things just to be considered such but the biggest mistake is probably the fact that the director seems not to have noticed, given his pompous and presumptuous approach.

not a fast and furious at all. Cute looking people in the movie but pathetic acting. Story line as always weak. Nice scenery. Movie has a slight twist which will push you to watch it till end but why no one cares. Big fan of fast & furious thought might give it a try but nope complete waste of time. If looking for a good entertaining movie you can definitely skip this one.

Not even the lovely and talented Ana de Armas can make this woeful Fast and Furious ripoff more interesting than occasionally pretty eye candy and car pr0n. What's even more tragic is that she's not given very much to do at all.Compared with this one, most of the Fast and Furious films seem like Citizen Kane in terms of both plot and storytelling.Two particularly laughable low points, which were kind of hard to come up with given that there were so very many in this film: 1: English speaking team leaders need a group of "skilled" drivers to be part of their crew. So of course, the finest levels of coordination and communication are achieved by bringing in a bunch of drivers that only understand French;2: Priceless collection of cars is kept in a high security garage behind 15 foot tall, 6inch thick metal doors. After blowing the doors flat off their hinges, it only takes two guys to effortlessly move the doors out of the way so the cars can be driven out. I need to take whatever vitamins those folks are eating.Say what you will about the F&F films (sheer brainless entertainment especially in recent installments), but there is no question most of the leads in the F&F films possess healthy amounts of on screen charisma. The same absolutely cannot be said of nearly everyone in this cast. There are no budding Wonder Woman's in the lot and Vin Diesel and The Rock are like DeNiro and Pacino in comparison to everyone here in Overdrive.Scott Eastwood and Ana de Armas especially deserve far better than this pale F&F wannabe.100% a film for car pr0n lovers only and those who want to see some occasionally nice shots of Marseilles and Paris - these elements elevate the score from a 4 to a 5.That's it. Really, that's it.

Andrew (Scott Eastwood) and Garrett (Freddie Thorp) are half brothers because Scott can't do an accent. They steal exotic cars. They ended up stealing the wrong car, that of crime boss who demands that they steal for him.The film takes place in Marseille. The scenery and cars are nice. The plot and acting was not so nice. I will say Scott does better in this film, than in westerns, but clearly his career exists because of his father. The film was at its worst and best when it was being cliché.Guide: No swearing or nudity. Implied sex.
