I can see how it might not get good reviews. It's very formulaic and pretty predictable. But the characters were likable, and it was a very traditional good-vs.-evil storyline. It kept me interested, and it was fun.

Ah, thank you for the spelling. Will correct.

The car itself looks really cool, a similar body shape to some of our classic cars. (It looked kind of 1940s to me. I was a little surprised when Geo told me it was a '66.) He likes old cars a lot. Sounds like one would have to upgrade the suspension, if possible. But when Dima got it all painted and slicked up, it was pretty sharp. I rather liked the hood ornament.

Also, the movie had some pretty neat visuals. Unfortunately, I couldn't really appreciate them because my attention was split between watching the movie and reading subtitles.

The producer on the movie also produced an animated feature we really like, 9, and I think that's what caught Geo's attention when he picked up the movie at the thrift shop.

It's not what I'd call a "great" movie, but it was fun. It's a decent popcorn matinee or "unwind and the end of a horrific workday" movie.
