This premiered on Showtime this weekend. What a bloated, overlong, nonsensical mess.

Agreed. It was one of the worst films of last year.

Lemme tell you what the song "Like A Virgin" is about.

This movie was a chore. Cool trailer though!

I just couldn't get over the bad logic. It didn't have the right direction and editing to make me swallow the nonsense.

It's pretty self explanatory, Tarantino.

And yes, this movie was mind-bogglingly boring. How something about fast cars can be so dull is a mystery. The Fast and Furious franchise is many, many things, but it's never boring. Arron Paul is as wooden as a tree, Imogen Poots is the "pretty posh British girl," and the car chase scenes? They're less exciting than watching someone else play a video game. Seriously, what the hell is the point of this movie if it's going to have boring action scenes? Michael Keaton was fun for five minutes, but my God does this overstay its welcome. Dull, dull, dull as watching paint dry.
