Hodnotenia a recenzie

I honestly turned this on one night because I had nothing to do. I expected a cross between Fast and the Furious and Speed but bikes. But the plot of the movie was surprisingly different. And a bit topical for what it's worth. It's a good film. Not great, but good enough that I feel like watching it a second time. Still though, these assholes will run you over.

Exciting fast-paced film. *This is for cycling what Fast and Furious is for driving.* Great video sequences including time-based flashbacks, Google Earth-like building imagery, etc. At intersections, it showed the best visual presentation of the driving strategy Identify-Predict-Decide-Execute. Plot and character development was a little light, but this wasn't meant to be a Nicholas Sparks romance story.

I'm 44 and I love movies. I also don't care for subtext, I prefer to get lost in a movie. This was a great thrill and I'll definitely watch it again. It's not 5-stars or enough to actually buy, but it deserves no less than 4.
