One of the most straightforward movies I've seen, and that's not a bad thing. Once again, a lot of these car-themed films seem to have had a ton of production issues. It makes a lot of sense that John Sturges would have been initially involved with a production as sensational as this, as opposed to Lee. H .Katzin, a director I'd never heard of before.
