Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A young car thief (Chad McQueen) is caught stealing a car and blackmailed by a crime boss (Jan-Michael Vincent) into being the specialist for a high-roller repo operation. He soon finds himself teamed up with a Courtney Cox look-alike (Roxana Zal) and being pressured by two crime syndicates, with a certain very special Corvette in question. His answer is to play both sides of the fence and pit the two groups against each other while trying to survive himself. There's not much to recommend the performances or direction of this movie, with a distinctly made-for-cable style and Michael Madsen as a made man (again!) in a "gimme my check" performance. However, there are plenty of car chases, surprisingly slick camera techniques, and loads of action, plus Julie Strain in all 6'1" of her silicone-enhanced glory. Plus, isn't there a sour-grapes kind of thrill in seeing a $40,000 Porsche coupe reduced to scrap metal? Hey, with a cast that includes McQueen, Vincent, Corey Feldman, and Dom DeLuise, what did you expect, The French Connection? For those who can appreciate the charms of a distinctly B movie action picture, there's plenty to like here. Note Vincent's mangled features; he was in a car wreck days before filming, and when his sleeve rides up an inch or two, it's easy to see the hospital ID band on his wrist! That's dedication! --Jerry Renshaw
Description:
Three men turn a race of greed into a fast-paced game of power, control and speed. When Jim (Chad McQueen) loses his race car sponsorship, he turns to petty crime to pay his debts. Blackmailed into heisting an impounded Corvette with a valuable hidden stash, Jim finds himself caught between two men who want what's hidden in the car. Jim soon realizes the only way out is to pit the two gangsters against each other and let the winner take all.

Hey, this movie had great cars that were expensive and awesome. The son of the late Steve McQueen made his movie ever. For a low budget off-screen film it was worth watching it a 1,000 times over. Jan-Michael Vincent, Roxanna Zal, Corey Feldman, Dom DeLouise and Michael Madsen jion the cast of cool and twisted. Gotta Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of action, humor, and car chases is what you will find in this movie. What you will also find is some really good acting. Chad McQueen plays a very likable character, aside from the fact the character is a car theif! Also Jan-Michael Vincent turns in a really good performance as a crime boss. There are also subtle referenced to the movie "Bullitt" which starred Chad's dad Steve McQueen, like a green Mustang like Bullitt's and some car chases remeniscent of the ones in Bullitt.
