| Rating |  | | Date | April 28, 2005 | | Summary | TOO unbelivable to watch! Days of Blunder! | Content
 | I've been a nascar fan for around 15 years, and this movie is too unbelivable. It don't help that I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but if you want to watch fantasy, rent Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or just watch somthing else period. Avoid! Avoid! |

| Yeah, like lots of folks have said, this is Top Gun sans wings. Most movies follow a formula but this one was retardedly tired. Cary Elwes must've been saving up to buy a pool or something, he doesn't have one line that isn't totally laughable in its corniness. Who ever heard a racecar driver tell an interviewer, "If he comes near me, I'm gonna put him in the wall?" I can't help but feel Tony Scott must think that people are complete idiots, and maybe they are, I don't know. Anyone with an IQ high enough to know that the WWE isn't real will probably be insulted by the cheesiness of this movie. With Robert Duvall, John C. McGinley, and even Cruise, who can be good, I thought they could've come up with a better story. It's a lot like Top Gun, I guess; the lives of real pilots and real Nascar drivers aren't as Hollywoodesque as their movie star counterparts portray them to be. The "Talk to me Goose" moments where Cruise can't get his head straight are way over the top. Maybe Duvall hadn't seen Top Gun yet and thought himself cruelly deceived afterwards when he did. He is a great actor, maybe Days of Thunder was just a payday? The demolition derby elements are also idiotic and totally far fetched. It's watchable as a glorified, MST 3K type movie though. |

| If you're a fan of auto-racing,this film is for you. Tom Cruise is Cole Trickle who professionally races cars. When he gets injured,he receives medical attention from a pretty young nurse played by Nicole Kidman,who'd become Mrs. Cruise in December 1990(Cruise and Kidman are now divorced). I'm sure Mario Andretti,A.J. Foyt,Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Dale's late father Dale Sr. have seen this film. I'm also sure Paul Newman,who races cars also,saw this film(Cruise and Newman starred in the 1986 Touchstone film THE COLOR OF MONEY). The film features a great soundtrack filled with songs performed by Guns 'n Roses and Elton John. Director Tony Scott previously directed BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 and TOP GUN. Cruise starred in the latter film,released in 1986. |

| Fist of all , this movie is perfect for a racing fan. it has action, comedy, romance and so on. Now all of you people who think that NASCar is the WORST sport ever, think about this. Get in a car and drive 200+ MPH and tell me its the worst sport. so i dont even want to hear it. |
