The most positive review

It is Top Gun on wheels isn't it? Only Maverick came across as more blue collar wild and Trickle is a little more California pretentious wild.
So it's kind of Top Gun only with Cary Elwes playing Val Kilmer.
It's kind of Top Gun only Robert Duvall plays Cobra.
It's kind of Top Gun but Nicole Kidman plays Kelly McGillis.
It's kind of Top Gun only with NASCAR instead of Tomcats.
You can't really fault this as a bad film, because it makes a promise to be a certain kind of film, and it keeps it's promise... and entertains while doing it.
So, if you are coming in thinking Chinatown.... what do you think you are watching?

The most negative review

I'm not much a fan of any kind of racing but found this to be a relatively entertaining sports-thriller which does feature some good NASCAR racing sequences and a nice cast, though can't really say anybody stood out, even Cruise. **3.25/5**
