Need for Speed provides a decent amount of entertainment but unfortunately, in terms of plot, characters and action set pieces, this one need some refueling.

Dom, Brian, Mia etc. Need for Speed is The Fast and the Furious without the family element, they try to portray it but you never get a feel for it since most of the movie involved being inside a car. The lacking in character development is the reason why the characters don't leave a lasting impression.
But if you are a fan of the classic Need for Speed video games, you will know that it's all about running from the cops in the best car you can afford. If that's what you're after then this movie is for you. Overall, it is an enjoyable movie, so long as you're not asking for more than 132 mins of dazzle.… Expand

I think that Need for Speed is an action packed, non- stopped thrill ride about a street racer recently out of prison and out for revenge for childhood friend's death.

Not a very well done racing movie. The one really positive thing I can say about this movie was Aaron Paul's acting was really well done. The race scenes were boring and really clichéd and didn't live up to the standards I was hoping for.

Unrealistic arcade drive with first person camera angle and hot cars you don't see every day on the street. Blowing cars and flying cops, tuned up with nice soundtrack would make you remember it's a Need For Speed movie. It's almost nothing more than that, but exactly what you're expecting from the title.… Expand

Un bon film plutôt plaisant, et distrayant. Pas trop de prise de tête, ni de réflexion inutile, c'est un film à voir détendu. Il n'y a pas d'erreur flagrante de réalisation, les événements s'enchaînent bien et on a pas le temps de s'ennuyer.Un bon film plutôt plaisant, et distrayant.

This movie is about stunts and action, just like the video games. The stunts get to the point of absurdity, like when a car gets a helicopter lift across a canyon. The racetrack gets overcrowded by discoordinated cops and gratuitous car smashing, just like my favourite racing games.
This movie is for anyone who wants to watch fast cars and/or love the Need For Speed games.… Expand

Although the premise of a revenge film revolving around drag racing sounds intriguing, it is filled with a sloppy, disjointed plot and boring stock characters. Wastes relatively good acting by the leads of Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper by creating rather disconnected, unempathetic characters. Michael Keaton brought a strong comedic performance to help break up any tension throughout the film. However the tension never really seemed to be there at the level it should have been. The film relied too heavily on the video game franchise and cars rather than actual story, trying to cash in on the current success of its star. If the writers focused on a more innovative story for a rather overdone genre than flashy cars perhaps this film would have defined a new age of racing films. Need for Speed certainly has a need for some speed.… Expand

This movie was enjoyable for what it was: an extended car chase with a revenge motive. Aaron Paul and Imogen Poots made for a convincing and enjoyable duo, but outside of them this movie gets to be forgettable. With decent scenes to break up all the racing and chasing, this movie did deliver in action and watchability. Of course, this movie does push towards gamers and gear-heads, so anyone outside of those circles can't expect to get much enjoyment out of this one but I do admit it was fun at times and would surly watch again (but never pay to own it).… Expand

Lead actor Aaron Paul did a great job, as well as the rest of the cast. Although the beginning of the film was slow and somewhat awkward, things picked up quickly. I enjoyed relationship between Tobey and Julia as well as the plot, which was simple yet pleasing. Some of the action sequences may not have been completely original, however they were executed brilliantly. The cars, police chases, and character development were well done and gave me a sense of anticipation throughout the film. I can honestly say i haven't felt so tense or captivated by a movie in a long time. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys expensive cars and unforgettable action, definitely worth a watch!… Expand

Yes and No. Need for Speed is another attempt for hollywood to make film adaptation of a video game. Now in the past, these movies are highly criticised for how bad they really are, and Need for Speed is probably the best adaptation of a video game I've seen so far. Let me give you the pros and the cons, the pros are that the car stunts were amazing as they attempted not to use CGI to conduct dangerous stunts with expensive cars, speaking of cars, I loved the variety of cars used in the film, they are all beautiful and loud and fast. Now the cons, the cast I swear to god was picked absolutely blind, on the exception of Michael Keaton who played The Monarch, but everyone else was poorly picked, the role of Toby Marshall played by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul was very stale and at the same time hey was trying to hard to be just like Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious franchise which made a very poor attempt in trying so, and the unnecessary length of the film at 134 minutes was stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey with a bunch of filler scenes that did not connect to film's main story at all. Overall the film was not great, but ok as it stuns me for the stunts and the story which was slightly flawed was also ok. This is a sign that hollywood is slowly understanding how to make video game adaptation one step at a time starting with Need for Speed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the best video game movies of all time. Top dog actors such as Kid Cudi, Aaron Paul, and Imogen Poots. But how ever the movie sees an unexpected turn that will surprise the audience and the movie features not a single CGI effect whatsoever so that way the movie emerses the audience in to a crash fest of amazing, a cross country chase against a killer, and lots of cops and races.

The movie features Aaron Paul as the main protagonist Tobey where he has to travel cross as Dino played by Dominic Cooper who has killed his best friend Pete in a car crash.

Events in the movie are taken in a little bit of a serious approach but with some humor slapped in to there. Dialogue is a little corny and it works a little.… Expand

Critics should stop being a**holes....
Need for Speed was filmed because of the love from an enormous fan base that it has behind it...
And like with every car related movie, this one gets shut down...
Once again, f*ck you, critics...

For the best but also (and sadly more) for the worse. I simply can't say their acting skills were great in 'Need For Speed'. Monarch (Michael Keaton) is awful, repetitive and surprisingly manages to compile an impressive number of stereotypes on his own. It's cool to see Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi) in here as bad as the movie can be. Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) delivers a tasteless performance almost all along the feature. Finn (Rami Malek) is freewheeling at every single moment and it is kind of a pleasure to see him act like this. I am truly amazed that they managed to create a character as terrible as Pete (Harrison Gilbertson). I didn't think it was possible. At least they all tried.

Scenario is **** incoherent, crazy-conventional and as unoriginal as it possibly could have been. Plus it is sustained with numerous machist and patriarcal jokes, references and ideas. I just stop counting the bad jokes when I witnessed they were joking about sexual harrassment. Even if they also manage to craft harmless jokes they appear to be silly and effortless. The romance is incredibly boring, awkward and predictable. Special effects are bad despite some impressive car crashes. Cars are interestingly highlighted.

However the pace is quite good, the final race scenes are incredible and the final songs 'Roads Untraveled' by Linkin Park and 'Hero' by Kid Cudi are amazing to listen to in here even if this track is among the ones that contributed to make Cudi's musical career crash.

At the end of the day this movie definitely feels like being part of the Need For Speed franchise, with just the amazing gameplay, original score, atmosphere and immersion in less. So happy they understood the lesson: no sequel. This is certainly entertaining but it definitely is bad entertainment. End of the line.… Expand
