This movie never looked that good to start with. And when everyone trashed it, my expectations dropped to an all-time low. I'll say, it really wasn't all that bad. Sure, performances weren't the best, but they were passable in this action flick. The plot drew the most criticism since it was extremely ridiculous and totally disconnected with itself. But the stunt work was surely a highlight - at least with the street luging. The rink shots, I admit weren't so spectacular. Still, we got hot cars and hot chicks, if not hot action.

This special edition came with a very good featurette on the stunts, an extensive but tiring look at characters and equipment from the movie and a Rob Zombie music video. A commentary from stars Chris Klein, LL Cool J, and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos was actually quite entertaining as they seemed to enjoy talking about this film.

Looking past the plot (which can be difficult), you can almost appreciate all the shallow action sequences.


The Movie: 4/10
The Extras: 3/10

Recommendation: See It If It's Free
