Born to Race: Fast Track

source: Born to Race: Fast Track

What happened to the original actors?!? The first movie was brilliant... Sequel sucks. These new actors suck... Why why why did they recast?!? Directors, you all suck. The end.

"Born to Race: Fast Track" is an Action - Sport movie in which we watch two young racers working together as a team in order to defeat the champion. They both have to work together to succeed and only the fastest will win the ultimate race. Another below average racing movie trying to copy the "Fast & Furious" franchise, with a simple but poor plot failing to gain the attention of the audience. The direction which was made by Alex Ranarivelo, it was descent and without any exaggeration that would made it worse. The interpretations of Brett Davern who played as Danny Krueger and Beau Mirchoff who played as Jake Kendall were average and failed to reach their potential. Finally, I have to say that "Born to Race: Fast Track" is another average racing movie and nothing more, if you have high expectations by it I advise you to lower them before watching it, otherwise you will be disappointed.

The best part of this movie is the end credits - at least they are short! The acting is secondary school, music is juvenile, the camera work is poor throughout especially the in car shots - they just reinforce that the 'driving action' is not believable. If that is not enough for you then to top it all off the plot line is so dumb 'predictable' would be over complimentary. The basic idea of this movie is kinda 'Top Gun' for cars, but is really a story for those who know nothing about cars and car racing, live in a hick country town and maybe one day dream of owning a Toyota Celica or Subaru WRX. If you are 12-13 years old you might like this movie otherwise avoid it.

Tom Cole ("From High School Musical Victorious ICarly The Mercenaries") & Charisma Carpenter ("From Big Time Rush Hero Wanted Embrace Of The Vampire The Expendables") Excellence Excellent.

I genuinely enjoyed this film, the first film I thought was pretty good but I prefer track racing ! Oh and (Spolier - although you can see from cast and crew) one thing that bugged me for the first 15 mins is that all the characters are played by different characters in this film, but after a while it just works. If you like cars, driving and ever wanted to race, then this is a good way to spend an hour and a half, admittedly the cars ain't that great... but that's not the point of the film. On a filming note; the racing shot's ain't half bad for the budget, the acting is reasonable and the plot predictable, but I still maintain that I enjoyed it very much.

So the first movie 'Born To Race', I really enjoyed! The sequal on it, which is Fast Track is a little different tho. It's to bad they changed the actors who played Jake and Danny. But still, not a bad movie tho! Still enjoyed watching it, just like the first one!

First let me say that I liked first part very much (I rated it 10). Now this part, movie is low budget (as previous one) so I didn't expected too much in term of acting and effects. However, I expected same actors and when I saw that they changed all but Jessica (and guy that sponsored Danny at the begging of first part before he crashed car) I felt very disappointed. It looks like whole another movie to me. Second thing I didn't liked is story, it is somewhat predictable scenario (Danny find opponent like Jake, races with him... you see already where is going) so it could be better and sometimes (especially at beginning) racing takes too long and boring (nothing happens, just camera moving from one driver to another). Except those things, movie is not really bad. I would recommend to pick it if you don't know what else to watch.

I discovered the first Born to Race on Netflix and was pleasantly surprised for being a low budget film. Even though the plot was a little predictable, it still came off to be an entertaining independent film. This sequel however, was a huge let down. The only actor who returned for the second movie is the girl who plays Jessica. And the new Danny and Jake do not have the same on-screen tension as the actors in the first movie. It's almost as if you can tell that these two are friends in real life which totally takes away from what is supposed to be an old rivalry. The plot was somewhat boring as I struggled to pay attention all the way through. I give it a 3 and that's being generous.

Good movie!
