DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, “Need for Speed” captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless.

The film centers around Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia Maddon (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey’s shop, a disastrous race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didn’t commit, and sending Tobey to prison while Dino expands his business out West.

Two years later, Tobey is released and set on revenge — but he knows his only chance to take down his rival Dino is to defeat him in the high-stakes race known as De Leon — the Super Bowl of underground racing. However to get there in time, Tobey will have to run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet that includes dodging pursuing cops coast-to-coast as well as contending with a dangerous bounty Dino has put out on his car. With the help of his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES – The Review

If you are into action and video games, then this is the movie for you… if you are looking for stellar acting or an amazing plot then you will be let down.

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES is the story of a pretty brutal attack on the US, that showcases SSgt. Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) and his last mission in his military career. After 20 years he finally asks to be let go. They grant his wish, but when trouble strikes they make him stick around for just one more mission. He is placed under the the rank of 2nd Lt. William Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez) and their entire Marine platoon, as well as the rest of the military, is sent out to fight the unknown enemy that is attacking cities all over the globe and trying to wipe out the population.

What they don’t realize is that the attack is not from this Earth. Aliens have invaded Earth, and they are killing everyone and everything in their path. With no other options, and no knowledge of their enemy their Marine Platoon has 3 hours to clear everyone from Santa Monica and get to their safe zone so that the military can nuke the area, wiping out the attacking alien population.

Warning: This movie is rather gruesome! If you have a weak stomach or do not take violence well then this is not the film for you.

The best way to describe this film is INDEPENDENCE DAY meets BLACK HAWK DOWN, if you subtract any sort of continuing, progressive story development. Now, I use those film comparisons loosely. The graphics and special effects were much better in this film that INDEPENDENCE DAY. Actually, they were pretty damn impressive. The movie is reminiscent of a first-shooter video game at times. It’s hard not to get wrapped up in the action and anticipation with the visual effects that they provide. I bring up BLACK HAWK DOWN because they do not sugarcoat this attack! People die in some pretty gruesome, brutal ways. The energy level of the impending doom really gets intense from time to time, and my anxiety level was definitely heightened. (AWESOME!)

The only actor in this that really impressed me was actually Ne-Yo. (Yes, the musician.) He plays Cpl. Kevin Harris, and the funny thing is that I noticed that I really liked his character, but I didn’t realize who he was. I, (obviously) am very familiar with his music, but you weren’t distracted by who he was. Often times, when a musician is put into a film (not always, but we’ve all seen it!) you are distracted by horrible acting, their attitude, product placement, or the obvious fact that they were cast simply to generate buzz and ticket sales. This time that was not the case. I think Ne-Yo was spot on with his performance.

Eckhart was just flat. I am normally a big fan of his, but not in this film. I can’t tell if it was the nature of the film or if it was the fact that the script, or written dialog just sucked. Honestly, if you take the action out of this film all that is left are some bad lines and horrible acting. BIG BOX OF SUCK! Michelle Rodriguez, who I also am a fan of, played the exact same character that she ends up playing in almost every film. As for character development, there is some trickery with that… At the beginning of the film they do a great job of introducing the characters and sparking some genuine interest into who they are, but that pretty much stops when the fighting starts. I am a big fan of action, but there was so much non-stop tension and action that it would have been a nice break nice for them to cut away and spend a little more time on the characters, or a story. While I appreciate them not throwing in a love story for the simple plot fix, (which I think they might have weighed, or left as an option during filming based on the interaction between Eckhart and Moynahan) they still could have spent a little more time on developing more of a story to help the movie flow better.

If you are in the mood to see some aliens, and watch some utter demolition then this is the film for you. If you are looking for a good story, go see something else.

Overall Rating: 3.25 out of 5 stars

(STRICTLY FOR KICKING SOME ALIEN ASS)
