First of all, let me just put it out there that you shouldn't watch this movie and then get behind the wheel of a car. Because you might find yourself, hypothetically speaking, driving a bit too fast, weaving in and out of traffic, maybe even taking a right turn a little too fast and sharp.

Okay. Onto the movie.

This is an action movie. Pure, unadulterated action. Lots of car chases (obviously), lots of fight scenes, very little plot or character development. I mean, there is a plot but it's kind of ridiculous. And the characters are very one dimensional, even the lead character.

But if you want kick ass fight scenes and gnarly car chases, then this is your movie.

This movie is also one big advertisement. Audi, Hummer, Comcast, iPod, Nokia, Heineken, you can't miss the product placement.

Overall, I'd say see the movie on the big screen if you can simply because the action scenes would be killer, but you could just as easily enjoy it on DVD.
