"There is nothing you can't do with a car". Nothing is better than being number one in the race, facing your fears and beating your opponent. Fantastic soundtrack, again Hans cooked.
I have seen this movie criticized for being similar to Top Gun. And while I see that for me this movie outshines it in almost every way. While it can’t compete with all the fighter jet shenanigans, in my opinion, that’s all Top Gun has going for it. All the writing and performances are top-notch here. We actually get to see relationships grow and develop, and characters have real depth. I especially love Cruise and Duvalls chemistry together. Anyways… kachow.
