Cool racing scenes. They aren't "tense" like in Ronin, but they are still over-the-top, exciting and aggressive. The special effects are really obvious and bad, yet they're acceptable by simply being so in-your-face. It's like a videogame.
The story is passable and not nearly as bad as most reviews indicated. It is pretty heartfelt and emotional. It's interesting because practically every character is a "good guy". There isn't the usual villain. Well, Gina Gershon plays a super-bitch, but she's a minor character.
Aggressive sound mix. Lots of footage of sexy women at the races, eating hot dogs and what not. Burt Reynolds looking like he just had face-lift. Great techno soundtrack by BT.
I imagine it will be a special edition DVD. If so, and you like any combination of :
1) Racing movie
2) Redemption movie
3) Sly Stallone movie
4) Renny Harlin heavy-handed over-the-top movie
Then get the DVD.
