- James Kearney27. desember 2024One of my guilty pleasures.😏 A bad film, but I do enjoy watching it.
- Shaydeknight2. april 2026Need for Speed starts from a rather thin premise, but that's not really why you'd want to watch this film anyway. I mean, I doubt people play Need for Speed games for the phenomenal storytelling or convincing acting in the cutscenes. The film borrows loosely from Need for Speed: The Run, which wasn't really the strongest title in the series to build from. As a result, it tries to construct a dramatic arc where the setup feels forced. The central tragedy depends on the protagonist making a poor and completely avoidable decision. A little less greed and the entire chain of events collapses. That makes the rest of the plot feel manufactured, and the emotional drive never quite lands. Aaron Paul is reasonably solid. He has a phenomenal voice and it carries a lot of gravitas when he uses it to his advantage, so he winds up bringing some presence to a fairly thin role. The problem is structural. His character creates the situation that drives him into misery, which makes it harder to root for him. The revenge arc then feels obligatory rather than justifiable, and as a spectator, that left me somewhat detached. Imogen Poots is a lot of fun to watch in her role, but again, the speed of the romance (pardon the pun) is way too accelerated. It's as if the scripting people just started making sure all their action film bases were covered. Revenge plot? Check. Broken hearted hero finds new romance? Check. Etc. Then there's Michael Keaton's role. At one point, all these gearheads talk about how his character, Monarch, a race promoter, is anonymous and incredibly mysterious. And then later in the film he basically has a podcast where we can see him online. I don't like when films contradict their own logic. On the other hand, the cars look excellent and the racing sequences are competent. There is a clear effort to ground them in practical driving rather than overwhelming CGI, and that helps. The visual effects are serviceable, and the filmmakers do try to capture the feel of the games, particularly the emphasis on speed and spectacle. So, it's not a bad film. Some of the race sequences are genuinely stunning, and the film makes excellent use of real locations and long runs at speed. The supercars are beautiful to look at, and there's a simple pleasure in watching them pushed hard instead of cut to pieces in the edit. When the film focuses on that, it works. It just never quite builds a story strong enough to elevate it beyond a middle of the road racing movie.
- skrishnan3721. februar 2026Total guilty pleasure driving movie. Actually liked this better than Gran Turismo.
- Bsodzzz11. november 2025What a banger no CGI
- Jamie Talbot27. oktober 2025Painfully average. The cars and stunts were amazing but the acting and script and painful to sit through. Probably not something I would bother rewatching again.

- Kelvin26. september 2025loved the races, it gave me memories of play nfs in my school computer, so goo.
