The movie has a lot of action. The race scenes are very well choreographed. Here are two examples (you really have to see it to really now what I'm talking about). NYC break of day, the streets are empty and quiet. All of a sudden there is a thunderous roar of classic car engines as the race begins. Next you see the cars hauling butt down the deserted streets of the city. Another classic scene is where two cars duel it out in the aqueducts in CA on their way to the finish line. It really looked like fun and I know if I ever got the chance, I would love to duplicate that scene.
The character development is a little flat, but the real point wasn't about the characters, it was about the race, hence it's name.
Many movies copied the format of this movie. Cannonball Run is the best known of the knock-offs. I still thought that GBR was a much better film than Cannonball Run. Remember, if it wasn't good, people wouldn't have copied it.
score 8/10
