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.

An incomprehensibly incompetent pseudo-biopic.

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

Easily one of the worst movies to star John Travolta (Eyes of an Angel, The Experts) this is an slog of an Biopic Thriller that has some of the most wonky effects I’ve seen in a direct to VOD movie. Not even the director of Texas Chainsaw 3D wanted his name on it

Good God, this was awful! I mean putrid. Seemed like a parody movie you would see on Adult Swim. I guess they figured Travolta could carry it, he could not.

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

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
