    The most realistic movie about car racing since "Le Mans".

    Top Gun for NASCAR. Thank the Gods for Duvall.

    Tom and Nicole star in this movie about an ambitious racing driver. Love the car racing.

    A total waste of time. The "script" is probably written during the screenwriters first hangover beer. The racing events are totally unrealistic and where's the excitement? Only worth a look because of Robert Duvall and the audio track.

    It was better than I was expecting it to be. It had some good funny moments. For instance the scene where Cole ( Tom Cruise) thinks his doctor Claire (Nicole Kidman) is really a stripper that the guys have set up for him was funny, and the scene where Cole and Rowdy (Michael Rook...( read more)er) are racing each other in wheelchairs got a laugh out of me as well. I didn't feel like there was a whole lot of action. I mean there was the big crash scene, but otherwise it fell short for me on that. The love aspect might be have been a bit cliched, but you could really see the chemistry between Tom and Nicole. And no wonder, they were dating at the time. I also liked how Cole and Rowdy managed to become friends.

    Acting wise, I think everyone did a good job. I really liked John C.Reilly in this. He wasn't a big or important part in the movie, but he looked haunted to me. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that his character had lost his dad in a racing accident, and could never forget and get over it. If that's the case, I think he's a pretty good actor. But who knows, he could have been going through something personal himself, and it showed onscreen. Either way, it's something I picked up on and stood out to me.

    Basically I thought it was enjoyable. It's not a movie to make you think, it's not a movie with impressive special effects, but it was good.
