    Leonardo di Caprio is excellent in the main role of this amazing man in this true story. Hanks does a good job in his role of 'chaser'

    Love all the drag racing in it,The storyline is great for the time the movie was made,and seeing all those Muscle Cars in it makes the movie.And you get to see a real bad ass 1957 Chevy at the end.Holy Mama Pajama!!!!

    IDK why people keep comparing this to the dicaprio movie! two totally different films. different plots, purpose, everything. the only thing they have in common is the name. the dicaprio one is not a remake of this one, a prequel, a sequel, or any of that. these two movies have absolutely nothing to do with eachother. but FWIW, i liked this on better than the dicaprio one, lol.
