Born 2 Race

Just had to own the video for myself

I honestly came into watching this expecting crappy acting, a F&F-type clone, and some crappy rice rockets. It turns out that it seems the crew did their homework. The acting was a fair bit heavy-handed at parts, and a bit cliche, with nothing really original (although there are a few quality lines, to be sure), it actually comes away as a decent movie. The themes, again, are nothing new- boy screws up, has to live with outcast/former drunk dad, they find common ground and reconcile... but the way it takes a theme (street/drag racing) that has been mercilessly abused (F&F movies ruined street racing's rep, which is duly awful [as any illegal sport should be, of course], and made all tuners look like idiot-criminals instead of car enthusiasts), and actually injects (har har) some life into it, with the street racing son actually going legit at the end, with an NHRA scholarship. Some VERY obvious marketing in this, but it doesn't take much away from what turned out to be a pretty good movie.Certainly worth a rent, and I'll be keeping this in the collection. I liked it so much, I even wrote this review! :) Check it out! Mark W.

I was actually very surprised. I have ordered a bunch of "racing" movies online before and have received the crappiest of crappy dvds that did not live up to my expectations or quench my thirst for well tuned, street performance vehicles. Shockingly, I ordered this movie w/ the expectation I would just see a few cool cars and surprisingly, this movie was actually a decent movie to watch. I really enjoyed watching it, primarily after I got over the fact that a high school student was driving a pearl white STI that had to cost at least 40K and he "bought it" himself...yea right. But anyway, shockingly fun movie to watch. I'd get it.

First have to mention that this is a movie specifically geared towards ricer fan-boys and not very realistic. I'm a gearhead and pretty much buy or watch any movie that has to do with fast cars. For the most part, I enjoyed this movie. The young street racer's estranged father is a well known former NASCAR driver who now owns his own shop. The local hot shot owns a modified Mustang. The movie's climax is at the end when the main actor's subaru is pitted against the Mustang for a chance at an NHRA scholarship. Spoiler alert: Based on the end result, somehow the Dad is converted from a lifetime of American muscle cars to the dark side. FYI, if you want a glimpse of what really goes down in real street racing, watch Street Outlaws on Discovery channel. There you can witness what happens to a 1500 hp Nissan GTR in Season 2, EP 1, that gets beat by a vintage Chevy Nova. Would only recommend this movie if you enjoy fantasy genre.

Honestly one of the best racing movies I've ever seen, the story isn't half bad and the race scenes are awesome. If you're into these kind of movies and don't mind spending a few bucks. It's worth the buy.

Let me start by saying this movie is awesome! Just a couple of things though. They did borrow a lot of material from the fast & furious franchise however what sets this movie apart is the authenticity. They got it right when it comes to the look and feel of the cars and racing. Also this is a great cast with some cute kids. This a fun movie that every car enthuisist will enjoy!

Bought this movie for my husband. It is one of his favorites. It arrived on time and was in great condition.

The movie has a good story line and a lot of action. The story is a lot like Tokyo Drift and the action is as well. If you like fast import cars and muscle cars, you will like this movie.

I loved this film. I'm always a sucker for racing films but found the Fast and Furious series to be a bit too 'silly' for me to really get behind. This film focuses more on the world of drag racing in cars that an average person may actually be able to afford (with a bit of saving up!). As such it's good fun, pleasant enough and the acting isn't terrible for a B-movie. You know what you're getting with a film like this, and I can just say it's good!

Best racing car flick since fast and the furious all about drag racing cool cars if you love fast loud cars this is a must see and cheap well worth it.

Dull and predictable. Nowhere near as good as the fast and furious films. I wouldn't recommend. Excellent seller though!

Bought for my partner who loves driving and drifting and the such. He enjoyed this DVD.

great film,its like fast and furious but stripped back. The only downside is the sudden ending
