Crash and Burn (2008)

Well main reason for watching this was Mike Madsen he's the only reason I decided to give this one a try,, I guess you could say it's Fast and Furious , meets Bullit meets Red Lined meets.... well on a lot smaller scale,, the acting wasn't that great to be quite honest. plot is simple ex con given a second chance by I think it's the FBI something like that,, and he has to rat out his buddies, and tell them who is doing all of the boosting of cars in the area.. you have you're typical bad guys in the movie. there are some really hot smoking women and cars in the movie which bumps up my rating from 1 or 2 to a 4. lot's of cars racing around , tires squealing, but not much in the way of a real story. the music also doesn't seem quite right for the picture as well. it's a shame because I think Michael Madsen could have done a lot better with better material.

Not exactly, just another "nice" little action movie. That has Michael Madsen in it. A man that while not playing the lead here, still brings something to the screen. The story is not that complicated and it's very probable, that you will realize where this is heading, long before a "reveal" gives it "away" (after half an hour).There are quite a few things, that don't add up here (scenes put together where you would expect something completely different, but that's just the way it is with low budget movies). Still you can feel with the actors if you let yourself go. And after all, I had to smile after the last dialog in the film. I've seen worse, but the template that is being used here, has been done a lot better also.

i really enjoyed this movie. it is about a high tech car thief who is recruited by the FBI to bust a car theft ring. Kind of like gone in "sixty seconds" meets "bulletproof". it is a movie that will appeal to younger people. it keeps a high pace of action, with out a lot of mushy stuff. there is the classic hot girl who he has to save, but she doesn't really speak at all in the movie.the gangsters are classic bad guys, with scars and scary voices. i found the main character to be very likable, i am not familiar with him, but he totally sends out a good guy vibe. i definitely recommend this movie if your bored, and want to see some some mild violence and sweet rides. it was a spike TV movie.

Nothing really wrong with this apart from the plot, the dialogue, the acting and the music. What does that leave? The cars and the car chases. The cars were the best thing about it. I only wish they had spent more time showing us these beauties because they managed to lay their hands on some incredible kit. The plot was a generic ex-crim turns Fed and uses his skills and connections to hunt down some baddies. Usually an opportunity for an actor to show that he has more than one dimension. You know, the conflict of using your friends, and loyalty to the badge, handling the inevitable love interest.... Sadly our hero never deviated far from the happy-go-lucky car thief. The baddies were "baddies" in the good old movie sense. If they had black moustaches and wore black hats they could not have been any more transparent. They looked bad, spoke poorly and did bad things. Oh dear.But, hey, it was a TV Movie so it couldn't be too complicated and as a mindless diversion with some nice cars in it, it wasn't too bad.
