Need for Speed may be light on story, completely absurd on intent and plot, and have many two-dimensional characters, but makes up for it in action, thrills, and impulsive entertainment. The video games, which popularized the use of 'first-person racing', put gamers in the driver's seat and revolutionized the way in which racing games were made. Waugh, who was a seasoned stunt performer before he became a director Act of Valor, on films like Bad Boys II, Spider-Man and The Italian Job, opted for genuine stunt performances from his actors, director of photography, and stuntmen, and mostly abandoned the use of CGI in the film, which gives a slight edge to the longing of danger to be put back into filmmaking. Now when I say realism, there is no way we can explain that word without mentioning director Steve Waugh. The disclaimer at the end of the film does state that "many of the stunts performed were done by trained professionals on closed courses", including the actors, who had extensive training with street cars and performance racing. Now the word realism can be misconstrued in the context of this review. But despite all the hurdles, Need for Speed delivers on its promise for an urgency to entertain, enthral, and perform, giving a whole new realism to the illegal street racing action genre. Based on the famous video game franchise of the same name released in 1994, the film had many hurdles to overcome even before its release horrible track records among critics and in the box office for video game film adaptations Super Mario Bros., Doom, Max Payne direct comparisons to the Fast films and a television star Aaron Paul Breaking Bad leading the film. For the first time in a very long time at the movies, I had fun! I held my arms close, my palms were sweaty, and tension was flowing through me like the warm synthetic engine oil of a race car, and it was all thanks to the high-octane energy of Need for Speed. When was the last time you saw a car fly? Like actually fly? And I'm not talking about the CGI filled James Bond/science-fiction films that show flying cars with wings as the norm in the future.

Assure you that Need for Speed will gracefully race near to, if not speed right in front of the series that made street racing cool.
