    An ex-car thief is recruited by the FBI to infiltrate his old gang and bring down a ring of international car thieves. Everything about this film reeks of "straight to DVD". Michael Madsen was clearly on auto-pilot til payday, and the rest of the no-name cast are a collection of ...( read more)the usual wise-cracking buddy stereotypes, Grand Theft Auto style shaven-headed, tattooed latino gang-banger cartoons and a particularly feeble love interest. It begins with a car chase and immediately shifts to a strip bar where surgically enhanced mammaries are waved in the viewers face, and the level of subtlety is set right there. The plot had some serious lapses in logic (Stevie Wonder dressed as a one-man band could've broken into that so-called "classic car museum") and most of the characters appeared, provided a motive for the next scene and disappeared, never to be seen again. Gone In 60 Seconds was a just a dimwitted excuse for a load of flashy car chases, but at least it had some big name star quality and extremely slick visuals. This is just a cheap made for TV knock off that's a cross between a Men & Motors calendar and an advert for joyriding.

    "Crash and Burn" is a terrible film from start to finish. For a film with violent street gangs, murderous crime lords, fast cars, and hot chicks, it sure is a chore to sit through. The dialogue isnīt badly written as much as it is just plain boring. It really doesnīt matter what ...( read more)the characters say anyways, as they are all one-dimensional caricatures...Anyways, thank God for the fast cars...

    3 of 5 stars for this action movie. If you take the movie Gone in 60 Seconds and combine it with The Fast and The Furious you get this movie. The basic plot has an undercover FBI agent (Erik Palladino) inside of a car jacking ring trying to find out who is Mr. Big. The car jackin...( read more)g ring has a rival gang trying to take over the business. Lots of car chase and driving scenes, but, frankly not too well photographed. So, alot of the exciting action driving gets lost.

    Overall, the characters were thin and not at all interesting. Even when the agents cover is blown and they kidnap his wife, it doesn't get much more interesting. There are a couple of unnecessarily volent scenes that lasted much longer than necessary.

    This is an average car movie. Better choices are any of the Fast/Furious movies or either version of Gone in 60 seconds.

    For a B - direct to DVD film this was actually pretty good. This is the film that Gone in 60 Seconds wanted to be. Highly engrossing with above average acting for a DTV flick.

    I really enjoyed this flick, sort of a "Gone in Sixty Seconds" deal, very enjoyable.

    Post-apocalyptic movies rock.

    A pretty good decent fullmoon flick. A favorite for fullmoon fans.
