It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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.

Atlantic, GTO, Cobra ... loads of beautiful cars and a few minutes of nice roads but that's it. The movie wants to be a "Gone in 60 Seconds" (not "Fast and Furious" like others wrote before) but it is NOT. The actors are not doing a good job, the plot is boring and the German sync is terrible. Sorry, but 3/10 just because of the nice shots of cars and roads.

A lot has been covered by other reviewers so I'll just add the two things that bothered me the most.You can't go and steal extremely rare cars. A random Ferrari; sure you can steal it and sell it in another country. But every Ferrari 250 GTO is numbered and known about. You can't just go and steal Nick Mason's 250 GTO and sell it to someone random. Interpol will be on you in no time.Also, was Kemp a bad guy or a good guy? Did he kill the pilot? Did Andrew just think that was ay-okay? And how did they end up with the GTO in the end? Steal it from the guy that played along? Very confusing.

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.
