This is the take off on the classic game Need for Speed in which there have been five different titles of the past few years. The game has a huge following and the fan base keeps growing higher with each new release. One of the biggest releases was Hit Pursuit in which would could play as a racer that was trying to win many long distance races with the police bearing down on you or play as the police and stop the racer from completing his race. The game became so popular that they took it to the next level and made a movie.

Aaron Paul (Toby Marshall) was recruited after his success on the hit show Breaking bad. His demeanor and style of acting fit the character they were look for and it so works. Dominic cooper (Dino Brewster) plays the rival in this movie in which he believes  he his the best but knows that until he beats Marshal no one will look to him in that respect.

The movie begins with us finding out Marshall's father had passed of leaving him a business that is in bad financial debt. Marshall is given the opportunity to finish a car in which Ford and Shelby were working on themselves. A completion of this car could bring big bucks. Marshall gets one interested buyer and w/o Brewster's permission  he shows what it can do and sells the card for a substantial profit. Brewster hates the idea that Marshall drove it and offers him a chance to win Dino's share of the pot. Well I don't want to describe what happens but it's an amazing race which was driven on I 684 is Westchester NY  (I have driven this route but no where near the speeds they hit. I maybe broke 100mph.) Cause of the race Marshall ends up in jail and you have to watch to see why.

Keaton who plays "The Monarch" is a mysterious man who finances a race know as the Deleon. The most secret race on the west coast in which Marshall intends to get invited to get retribution on Brewster and clear his name. There are a lot of high flying stunts that are truly amazing and some wrecks that will make you cry for the car that was lost.
