Evaluation

One of the best things from this movie, the plot of the story which was unpredicted by myself
and made me wonder how Andrew and Garret Foster are Max Klemp partner in that robbery and the
target of the robbery are Jacomo Morier. Because, from the story I think the two half brother worked
for Jacomo Morier to steal Max Klemp Classic Ferrari. And the setting of this movie really boost the
action and thrilling sensation, like when the two half brother driving the Classic Bugatti car with
recklessness.

Evaluative Summation

This movie gave me quite an entertainment packed with the action for 1 hour 33 minutes of
screenplay. Some of the scenes are also heartwarming despite being an action and there many critics
out there that might agree to this statement so I wouldn’t be recommending if you were an action
adrenaline lover. If you’re really like everything about cars, especially classic cars. I recommended
everyone to watch this film.
