Nicolas Cage is divisive to say the least but frankly he was on a run of form around the turn of the millennium and this is another of his underrated gems. One of the first of the car action genre sort of film this offers something the likes of Fast and Furious don't, mostly an entertaining watch but generally speaking in comparison terms it has a compelling and rounded narrative which is is main attraction. Starting at 100mph it never really lets off, everything moving at breakneck speed in line with the challenge Cage and his crew have been set. Depicting both sides of criminal and law enforcement it's nice to see the parallels and juxtaposition of the 2 groups and further adds to the tension. Good performances on the whole and as I've mentioned a few times, excellent action it's a superbly entertaining watch and has great rewatch value
