First off, I rent every car movie that comes out because I love cars. But this film has changed my whole outlook on what people think is acceptable as a car flick. This film was terrible from the cars they chose to the dialog they spoke. It was predictable all the way to the end. Except for the very end when ***SPOILER*** the cop comes at them with a gun for no reason and gets hit by the car. They had no need to put that in unless they felt that someone just HAD to die.***MORE SPOILERS*** The cars they used were all stock and couldn't even be considered "race" cars by any means. It would have made the movie that much better if they had at least tried to find some cars that were modified for racing. It wouldn't of even cost them any money. You can look on car forums and find hundreds of people with modified cars that would be more than willing to get their car feature in a film.The dialog was so predictable. It seemed as though the actors were stalling their words, like they were forgetting their lines and trying their hardest to remember.

To sum up, STREET RACER besides its "Almost similar title" is a good time on DVD for end. fans of cars, racing and a REAL story that will having you cheering the hero and clapping at the villain in the

I'm not saying that low production films are bad though, however if the movies about flashy fast race cars, the producers gotta spend some money. The most expensive car in there would probably be between a Honda or Subaru. Acting was horrible, cars were cheap, the race scenes lacked what at least fast and the furious had. The whole showing the driver, then showing them press the clutch and shifting gears, yeah they screwed up on that. This is where my "spoiler" comes in.. at the last "race", there's this narration of the race which is ridiculous, it's suppose to be a police officer in a helicopter? i guess, but it just sounds like horrible teens that don't know what they're talking about. Races are about 30-45 seconds each, normally I would assume the circuit takes at least a minute per a lap. Everything just wasn't done right, just re-watch one of the fast and the furious movies instead of renting/buying this movie.
... View MoreOh man....it was clear from the get go, that this is one top-notch film...both the acting and the quality of the film itself was Oscar-worthy!!! What a great racing movie! One can only give this fine piece of cinematic gold the respect it rightly deserves...being a car enthusiast myself, I watched this movie's several street races, and judging by the uber-realistic sound loops and the fact that a Scion xB could EASILY outrun an M5 engine-swapped BMW...I can only say that the realism was astounding. The acting...superb. These no-name actors give the performance of a lifetime! It seems as if they are dubbed over, speaking in a giant echo tunnel, and it gives the movie that magical B-movie feeling I was looking for!!! Anyways...be sure to rent this one for SURE, especially if you're a tried and true street racer type like me! Also don't forget to stab yourself in the eye after watching this fine piece of work, because you won't want to watch ANYTHING ELSE as long as you live!Dueces!
