Surprisingly good film considering the negative reviews posted here, I guess haters will be haters. Hardly a film to be compared to the Fast and Furious considering the budgets. Completely disagree with most of their assessments. I saw this in theaters and there was a standing ovation so maybe I'm not alone in my opinions. However having said that, I found it well paced, well shot, good acting, and music fit genre. The story rings true for many and having lost friends to Motorsports related accidents or those that were injured from them, I think it explores an interesting perspective. It did have some clichés but not in bad taste and really hardly any films don't lack clichés these days anyway. It is also nice to see a car film that uses real believable race car action rather than "super hero type" stunts that could never happen in reality (although entertaining). Maybe not a film for today's theaters big budget huge action type films, but a great film for television. Worth watching.

Jimmy
(I) (2013)
Well done!

I was able to see this movie at a festival and really enjoyed this movie. While I thought all the actors were great, the lead actor who played Jimmy was amazing. I was waiting for him to break character and he never did. Some great surprises kept me guessing what was going to happen. This is another great project from director and may be his best. I enjoyed how real the action was for several of the sports scenes. Overall a wonderful film and deserves a afternoon with family or friends. A great movie for the whole family! I will own this one on DVD! If you get a chance to see this in the theater, go. You will not be disappointed.
