Ethan Hawke is Brent Magna (now there's a movie name) is a burnt out ex-race car driver, his Wife is kidnapped and he is forced to follow orders on a do or die mission by a mysterious voice.
IT'S CARMAGEDDON!
It's a life action 'Need For Speed' video game, a continuous loop of brain dead plot, car chases (why don't the Police deploy a helicopter?) explosions, and bad guys who can't shoot straight. Selena Gomez (aged 11) turns up as a precocious teen hoodie brat, but also a tech genius who's favourite word is "asshole", Jon Voight as the 'voice' is straight out of the 1960's James Bond hall of villains, minus purring white cat, this is the cinematic equivalent of banging your head on a car bonnet for 90 minutes, Nick Cage must have been busy during casting.
