Not bad

Perhaps it helped that the DVD cover promised yet another racing film that it didn't really deliver or perhaps the fact that I watched some of the British coming of age films from the 1960's and 70's recently, but I kind of liked this story of a young man from the English coast who falls in to street racing and has a confused relationship with a dark haired beauty. To be certain the plot isn't anything we haven't seen before, but the film seems to come alive with a good score and a very real sense of place and of people. Give the film a point or two for the good cast making things work. Is it the best thing out of the box? Certainly not, but it is a nice unexpected diversion that was welcome relief in the midst of an evening of really bad movies. Between 6 and 7 out of 10

score 7/10
