CodyZamboni Z 08/19/2024 Watcable drama , Not what I expected, Sumptuous French and Italian countryside and lake scenery, Solid racing action, And at the end, sort of emotional, See more Red T 05/12/2023 Easily one of Pollack's worst. The acting is just ok. Pacino for most of the runtime never is intense and feels like he is sleepwalking through most of this performance. The main culprit here for the mediocre acting is the fact his love interest he has no chemistry at all with and everyone else is just forgettable ok. I never once bought these two were in love. The music wasn't good either because on top of barely being used and being generic, it was really tiring more than anything. The cinematography is just ok also. The camerawork is actually really good in this and the settings are very memorable. The problem is though your never interested with anything that is happening with the characters because nothing actually going on 90% of the time contributes to the plot and it just becomes tiring despite how pretty it is to look at. Worst of all is the editing and pacing which are horrifically bad. Once they meet at the hospital, stuff just happens with them. While the transitions flow well, and we are always focused on Pacino, the actual scenes never contribute anything tot eh story for 90% of the runtime. On top of that were made to believe this is going to be a racing movie at first and there is maybe 5 minutes of racing action in what turns out to be a boring love story. There is the subplot of uncovering what happened with the racing accident that put the other driver in the hospital, and him actually being a driver and it feels like none of that ever amounts to anything and is pointless. I seriously don't know what the point of making him a race car driver was. The racing scenes while done well contribute nothing and comes after being bored to death. It is also not hyperbole to state for 90% of this film I seriously don't know what the point of the scenes were because it never goes anywhere. This gets insanely boring and than it decides in the last ten minutes to try and actually tell the story. This isn't even really bad as much as a giant waste of time. If you want a real racing movie that works love and racing together watch Rush (2011) instead. See more steve d 07/16/2020 Pacino is one of my favorite actors but this was just ok for me. See more 11/25/2019 I don't understand why this movie has such a low rating. The performances are beautiful, the writing and the story is interesting (much more interesting than I was expecting it to be) and the female character was interesting and dynamic. I am seriously at a loss. See more delysid d 09/20/2018 It's a Goddam Chick Flick! See more 06/13/2016 Al Pacino as a conceited race car driver. This drama is messy and has little to offer.
