Reseñas destacadas
This is one of those clear cut action film which excel in its main goal (intense car racing) but kind of ignores everything else. Plot is straightforward & not emotionally driven, but is generally fun to watch and high in adrenaline.
So to begin with, the team seriously proved their ability in making the action sequences feel suspenseful and look awesome at the same time. And you can really feel intensity of the crashes and the speed. Furthermore, it feels more special with the inclusion of hypercars like Lamborghinis and Koenigseggs for the races. It is the first film for a long time to have really, really powerful cars like these, and they are simply a joy to watch. A dream come true for car fans.
However, though, the plot is very much straightforward, and predictable enough. And while the use of humour is good and energetic throughout, the same could not be said for the drama. There is a genuine feel for some of the characters, but I would say it was not plot driven and instead mostly due to the brilliant acting by Aaron Paul, who was the only stand out cast. His portray of emotions & joy, along with the charisma he brings to the screen easily makes him the likable action hero we want to root for, and so everything that happens around him kind of find its way to our hearts. I believe that after this people will remember him more than just a meth maker (Breaking Bad).
So, this is really an energetic and full of adrenaline action movie full of powerful, powerful cars, which makes it one worth the watch despite an ordinary plot.
VERDICT:
Good: Excellent & Intense car action, Beautiful inclusion of hypercars, Lots of humour, Great main character
Bad: Straightforward plot, Average supporting cast, Less emotionally driven
SCORE: 7.0

I was a bit apprehensive about watching this movie considering that the current RottenTomatoes score is a dismal 23%. So much for the critics.
Story-line is pretty weak, but I guess that's all could be done if you wanted to stick to the video game format.
Some good casting choices, some bad... Aaron, M Keaton, Rami, Dominic, Ramon did it for me, Imogen, Dakota, Harrison, Scott (he was so irritating - African-Americans should protest the stereotyping) did not. Couldn't understand how Imogen's character went from savvy biz to dreamy ditz.
Elements of the game like the build-up to the final race, police car chases, attempted roadblock (the police car-pile driver was really a low-point), helicopter surveillance, etc were featured.
The movie was engrossing and I didn't feel the length of the two hours. However, some major plot holes/ inconsistencies didn't work for me... but hey, its based on a video game. I appreciate the director for not resorting to the F&F style of direction.
Watch it if you like cars, chases and/or Aaron... Would have liked him to say "Bitch" at least once! :) But can't have everything.

And I'm a woman! I watched it alone and sweat was coming out of my pores the entire time. I know about Mustangs. I know about Bugattis. I didn't know about many of the different types of fast cars though. That Bugatti was sweet. All I want to say after watching this movie is....'This is for Pete' and I'll add to it for him.....'You Dirty Rotten Scoundrel!'....Justice SERVED!! Enjoy the ride, PHEW! It's worth it!
I was expecting this to be hardcore car racing action movie.
But this movie, Need for Speed, gave me pleasant surprise.
It has action but story is good too. Does not bore the viewer.
Director exactly know what needs to be fed to viewer in what quantity.
Acting is well delivered. Aaron Paul and Imogen Poots are matching pair, especially the eyes. Dominic Cooper delivers well too.
I had an impression that this movie will be in line of Fast and Furious. But it is not.
Both are good but different.
Overall, enjoyable movie.

I saw an advanced screening of Need for Speed at NAS Pensacola for free and went in with no expectations. I actually expected it to be really bad. But my hand to god....it was awesome. There is not a dull moment in the entire movie. With a countless number of street races, police chases, and car crashes i was entertained throughout its two hour run time. But of course all of this time spent on the action scenes comes at the cost of a well thought out plot. It was pretty formalistic and predictable. but what did you expect from a movie based off a racing video game? There were no stand out performances by the actors but no one was bad either. Kid Cudi played the comic relief and he did a lot better than i expected having no prior acting experience. Overall if you're looking for a very intense and entertaining movie this is it. Hopefully now Aaron Paul wont just be remembered as "the guy from Breaking Bad". 8/10
¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesA majority of the car stunts in the film were done practically using car shells, with hardly any visual effects used. The body shell for the Koenigsegg, a $4.6 million supercar, cost roughly $300,000.
- PifiasThe Sesto Elemento that Dino drives does not have glass electric windows - a real Elemento has plastic windows with a little slider for the driver to talk.
- Créditos adicionalesSPOILER: Benny teaches other inmates how to twerk dance in military prison during the closing credits.
