This movie was sooo bad I created an account just to tell the director to quit their day job. There are plenty of excellent actors. It takes a really terrible script, combined with terrible directing, combined with terrible cinematography to create such a bad movie. The whole thing is bad

Broken, disjointed, and some pretty bad acting all around.

Very hard to take this movie seriously with the plastic face of John Travolta staring at you all the time. Also, you have to feel for Katheryn Winnick, taking one for the production having to kiss and snuggle with that molded cartoonish freak. If you eliminate the real footage of boat races and the flashbacks, the movie is about 30 minutes long, and still not good.

Honestly this movie is so bad it's good, it has surpassed the level of cringe to the fact that I would now categorize this as "a high camp experience" Speed Kills drinking game: take a shot every time you're confused. You will never be so hammered. I can honestly not tell you what happens in this movie despite having seen it upwards of 7 times. All I know is that John Travolta loves boats, drugs, and cheating on his wife. He's literally just straight Cal Jacobs. Not to mention the PLOT HOLES! At one point he has a come to Jesus moment with his son and it seems like they're going to get their relationship back on track and then we never see his son again, not only that- he never mentions that he has a son ever again! This movie baffles me that it's only an hour and 42 minutes: it truly feels like a 5 hour long movie. This is either a cinematic masterpiece, or it's actual dog feces and I can't tell at this point… watch it

What's not to like? Well, everything -- unless you're the star, who seems convinced that this embarrassingly cloddish biopic-slash-thriller actually flatters both him and its subject.

I can't recommend Speed Kills to anyone because it's not even good enough to gawk at.

Following on from the recent Gotti, John Travolta once again toplines a film which is undeserving of his talents with Speed Kills.

Rated: 2/5
