(2011) Born To Race
DRAMA/ ACTION
Because of the success of "The Fast And Furious" movies, more producers are taking notice, trying to make several different movies involving drag racing, including this recycled of a plot which could've been called "The Karate Kid" of racing. Straight to rental with a story also made-up and directed by Alex Ranarivelo, with the mother, Lisa (Sherry Stringfield) sending her teenage son, Danny (Joseph Cross) to live with her estranged husband, Frank (John Pyper-Ferguson) to another part of the city, since he was caught drag racing creating havoc with his mom and stepdad, and it is there is where he meets a wealthy son who's supposed to be the best racer around the area. And besides Danny stealing this wealthy yuppie's girlfriend, he also has to enter a race that offers scholarship and for bragging rights. This movie is at times, quite painful to watch since there were times I couldn't even make out what's happening in terms of the racing scenes. Simple minded plot that's already been done with an ending that totally sucked.
