Michael Woods (Paul Walker) is on parole after being released from an American prison. He breaks parole to go to Johannesburg, South Africa to find his ex-wife Angie. He picks up the wrong rental car at the airport. He finds a phone and a gun. He is about to abandon the car at a junkyard when he gets a call from police detective Smith. Smith gives him an address to swap cars. Michael gets hopelessly lost and then he finds Rachel Shabangu bound in the back of the minivan.Michael proclaims that "This is Crazy!" I feel the same way about the movie. It makes no sense why he would keep the woman prisoner. He should just let her go and clean up whatever fingerprints are on the car. Every move makes less sense. The character is an idiot and Paul Walker does not really play idiots well. I do mean idiot as in mentally deficient. There is nothing holding him to the situation. This is very manufactured which drains all tension from the drama and the action. It doesn't matter how well it's film or how exciting are the car chases. The character simply doesn't make sense.

The story is just another one of those common action movie plot; the main character being trapped thus have to clear his name through the perilous path. The mentionable thing is that the movie, staying true to the title, tried to make all the shots angled from inside the car. Seeing Locke (2013) before this movie, I understand that it would be very hard to grasp all the scope that an action movie offers while trying to compensate the car interior camera angle. There's the big trade off between the action outside the car and the interior feel this movie's trying to get. The story also miss out much on developing other characters besides Michael Woods. At least Paul Walker can keep his kind of usual role of a hard raised man being the unintentional hero.

Plot was refreshing. Paul's acting specially toward the later half was good. The camera usage laced inside the car was very unique. Not seen many movies with this kind of attempt. What screwed up the movie for me was the numerous logical errors right from start. Car company gives a rental without checking and cleaning out the vehicle? Why would a person in a new country rent a car...instead of using a taxi or Super Shuttle or whatever? In 2011 who does not have a smartphone which has GPS capability? Who does not come prepared to a new country without specific instructions to reach the US Embassy? Paul takes so much time to decide to spray his car. If you are a criminal on the run the first thing you would do is to ditch your vehicle and try using another. Or just hire a cab to get to US embassy.A different Director would have made this a great movie. Sorry I cannot go beyond 5 in rating this movie

Very simple concept in which whole story takes place in a car. This low budget movie was not actually a bad. It is one of the last movies of Paul Walker. He was excellent, though the movie was B due to the poor production quality yet quite enjoyable.Paul Walker as Michael, an ex prisoner who goes to meet his girlfriend who is in a foreign country. All the sudden he gets trapped into some local criminal affair without his knowledge. So the hunt begins where he tries his best to escape it.The movie was not for everyone, you can get better movie than this though I must be honest that I saw it because of Paul Walker.
