Considering the Fast And Furious series has effectively already won the race of the 'fast car movie' genre, do we really need another film about driving? Do we really need more shots of someone shifting a gearstick a dozen times, of feet slamming down on pedals, of screeching, smoking tyres? In essence, is there really a Need for more Speed?
Well, 'yes'. And also 'duh'. Because while the Fast And Furious guys change to a gear more suited to action-packed heist movies, the franchise can get a little bogged down in the drama of the long-term characters involved. Need For Speed, however, has no time for bromance or camaraderie or - ugh - explaining to its wife that she doesn't understand, "this is something it just has to do".

Anyone who has seen the motivation-heavy trailer for the film might have justified concerns as to whether Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul to the remaining 5% of the population that hasn't seen the show) can cut it as a leading man. After all, this is a film about excitement, acceleration, weaving in and out of traffic and cheekily keeping one step ahead of the police... and Paul is just so intense. read More
