Although light on plot and performances, the film delivers exactly what it promises. Devoid of CGI, the races you see are real and the stunts, really well done. Apart from Paul’s promising performance, it’s the supercharged cars that tear up the asphalt and steal the show in this one.

The visuals are convincing and realistic. The car flip, which killed Pete, can be touted as one of the most spectacular aerial cars flips ever-captured on film.

Overall, the film is engaging and entertaining.

Though Need for Speed is in no way the next big race-car film, it’s an entertaining movie, perfect for a weekend. Autophiles and fans of race-car movies, in particular, will enjoy this film. Watch it if you’re looking for an entertaining film, but skip it if you want an original or thought-provoking film.

Though the pace remains mostly high-octane throughout, it drags in the beginning and during the final face-off. But overall, this flashy underworld of super-charged machinery and intense action is a blast.
