SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Well main reason for watching this was Mike Madsen he's the only reason I decided to give this one a try,, I guess you could say it's Fast and Furious , meets Bullit meets Red Lined meets.... well on a lot smaller scale,, the acting wasn't that great to be quite honest. plot is simple ex con given a second chance by I think it's the FBI something like that,, and he has to rat out his buddies, and tell them who is doing all of the boosting of cars in the area.. you have you're typical bad guys in the movie. there are some really hot smoking women and cars in the movie which bumps up my rating from 1 or 2 to a 4. lot's of cars racing around , tires squealing, but not much in the way of a real story. the music also doesn't seem quite right for the picture as well. it's a shame because I think Michael Madsen could have done a lot better with better material.

Just watched "Crash and Burn" Mirelly Taylor lit up the screen. Outstanding. For me she was the only thing to watch in the movie. I kept hoping she'd return in the second half. I also liked the sixties style of film-making with the split screens but this style was dropped about half way through the film. The story was predictable. Madsen has played this character better in dozens of films. Erik Pallidino is attractive, but not very strong as an actor. Everything else we've seen in better "car" and "racing" movies. Even the cars were not that great and once Madsen's character figures out what Pallidino is up too, the story becomes very unlikely and unbelievable.

i really enjoyed this movie. it is about a high tech car thief who is recruited by the FBI to bust a car theft ring. Kind of like gone in "sixty seconds" meets "bulletproof". it is a movie that will appeal to younger people. it keeps a high pace of action, with out a lot of mushy stuff. there is the classic hot girl who he has to save, but she doesn't really speak at all in the movie.the gangsters are classic bad guys, with scars and scary voices. i found the main character to be very likable, i am not familiar with him, but he totally sends out a good guy vibe. i definitely recommend this movie if your bored, and want to see some some mild violence and sweet rides. it was a spike TV movie.

Nothing really wrong with this apart from the plot, the dialogue, the acting and the music. What does that leave? The cars and the car chases. The cars were the best thing about it. I only wish they had spent more time showing us these beauties because they managed to lay their hands on some incredible kit. The plot was a generic ex-crim turns Fed and uses his skills and connections to hunt down some baddies. Usually an opportunity for an actor to show that he has more than one dimension. You know, the conflict of using your friends, and loyalty to the badge, handling the inevitable love interest.... Sadly our hero never deviated far from the happy-go-lucky car thief. The baddies were "baddies" in the good old movie sense. If they had black moustaches and wore black hats they could not have been any more transparent. They looked bad, spoke poorly and did bad things. Oh dear.But, hey, it was a TV Movie so it couldn't be too complicated and as a mindless diversion with some nice cars in it, it wasn't too bad.
