WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Brothers Andrew (Eastwood) and Garrett Foster (Thorp) are car thieves operating in the South of France, only targeting expensive luxury cars. When they steal a car that belongs to local crime boss Jacomo Morier (Abkarian), he retaliates by forcing them to steal a Ferrari from his arch-rival Max Klemp (Wolfrom), or else they must pay with their lives…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The spirit of the Fast & Furious films lives on in this France-set knock-off, not least because it stars franchise newcomer Scott Eastwood, and also a ton of beautiful luxury cars that only the movies can turn into high-gear vehicles of awesomeness.
