Speed Racer


If your kid at heart you will enjoy this movie. Basically this film was made for children. The slow motion with 360 degrees movement from the Matrix trilogy was also applied in this film. The Men behind this film are The Wachowski Brothers and Joel Silver, who were the men behind the success of the Matrix Trilogy.

At first scene, I thought that the movie was boring and for kids only but when Rex Racer showed, waaa....everything was changed.

Born to race cars, Speed Racer is aggressive and fearless young man. His only real competition is the memory of the brother that he idolized, the legendary Rex Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, especially his dad, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries after he win a race, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret, which some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, the company will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival - the mysterious Racer X - to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

Since from the beginning, when Rex Racer died and Racer X showed, you'll have an impression that there is something fishy about Racer X. (yahoo movies)
