KILL SPEED (2010) (a review)


This is one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies I have ever seen. And I know it's unintentional because there are plenty of times it tries to be funny that don't work. Or it could be that it's just one of the worst movies made with professional actors ever.

The story: a group of guys make money by flying drugs into the US in super fast planes. They get caught (sort of) and used to help free a fed who is captured by the drug cartels. Basically, they tried to do FAST AND THE FURIOUS with planes.

Was is good?

NNNNNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie is so bad it should exist only as a drinking game.

In fact I can't really describe how bad it was. The concept (as I describe it) gives the movie WAY too much credit. Everything here is stupid. The scenes of these guys flying (and getting chased) are horrible. The dialog is lame. The plot twists (he falls for a girl who turns out to be a cop!) is stupid. If this were a film school project it would be bad, but since is has real actors (actors I like!) like Greg Gunwald, Shawnee Smith, and Robert Patrick, it makes this just plain painful.

The thing is that most of the stuff didn't have to be this bad. That idea of these kids smuggling drugs and then having to save a gov't agent isn't that horrible. They should have been able to get something decent out of it. But this is just bad on top of bad on top of bad.

Easily the worst film I've seen this year.

**** AVOID ****
