Featured reviews
Good film, hope there's a second one as it could be carried on quite well and Aaron plays his part well
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.

Acting fine, very good cast.
Storyline OK, keeps you engaged throughout.
Racing scenes very good.
Overall I really liked it, wasn't expecting much but pleasantly surprised. Bit cheesy of course but a solid 7 from me. Enjoy.

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.

I am a huge fan of "Need For Speed Most Wanted" video game. I still do play it on my PC. Whatever the critics would say, I was sure I would see this movie. And now, it's here. The plot is way simple and predictable but it kept me excited till the end. The movie beats the Fast and Furious series (at least for me). The cars, racing and all those stunts were too amazing. I bet, any car fan would not be disappointed by this movie. They have made it too good that it would be hard to dislike it. It's the best video game adaptation I have ever seen, or could ever imagine. It's like I'm watching the recorded version of my playing but in the best graphics than the one I regularly play on PC. I've always wanted this movie to get released and here it is. The best racing movie ever made.
