Brothers Andrew and Garrett Foster are exceptional pilots, but also exceptional thieves. Their specialty: steal the most expensive cars in the world. In Marseille, they manage to steal a sublime BUGATTI 1937, jewel of the exceptional collection of Jacomo Morier, godfather of the local Mafia. The latter then decides to use their talent to his advantage against his sworn enemy, Max Klemp. But if they agree to enter this game, it is because they have actually designed a shot of an unparalleled boldness. (Roadshow Entertainment)

The villains are alright, the winding roads of Côte D’Azur are spectacular and the two main female characters are much more pleasant to look at (starting with their faces) than the entire swimsuit-clad cast of Baywatch (which I had watched right before this movie, God help me). But in trying to deliver one plot twist after another with an increasing cast of characters on both sides, the screenplay turns it into a cheap failure of a B-movie. Especially when you compare it, for example, to The Italian Job, which had much more remarkable actors in its cast. Eastwood Jr. and Freddie Thorp are suited to the roles of the seventh and eighth fallen soldiers in the second action sequence of the sixth installment of Transformers.

I watched Overdrive because I saw some nice cars in the trailer and I thought that if nothing else, this could be a decent B-list movie I would enjoy. No way, José. Scott Eastwood looks very pretty in this one and Freddie Thorp has no charisma at all. On top of that, the story is a stupid as a pothole in the road. I think that Antonio Negret is good at B-list action flicks, but the casting killed it. In the end, what saved the movie was a couple of good shots of old veteran cars.
