Andrew and Garrett Foster (Scott Eastwood and Freddie Thorp) are thieves who specialize in luxury cars, only the most expensive cars. They've been hired to steal a gorgeous Bugatti 1937 valued million euros, so they head to the south of France for the job. But they get caught, and Jacomo Morier (Simon Abkarian), the local crime boss who owns the Bugatti, doesn't take it lightly. In exchange for their lives the two brothers will have to steal a car from Max Klemp (Clemens Schick), Morier's arch-rival, and not any car, Morier wants them to steal Klemp's 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, his most prized car.
Leave your thoughts about Overdrive.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's definitely not a strong picture, but as brainless, witless junk food cinema goes, director Antonio Negret has a few flashy stunt sequences to share and a few Euro locations to visit. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleChoked with clichés, joyless, and with a suspense meter on empty, this France-set caper about classic-car-thieving half brothers (Scott Eastwood and Freddie Thorp) mixed up with a pair of violent, automobile-collecting crime lords (Simon Abkarian and Clemens Schick) is only for those who think the “Fast and the Furious” movies aren’t white and charmless enough. |
| The New Paper (Singapore)Andre TehToo many side characters and too little character development aside, this feature-length car commercial will please petrolheads. |
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensWhile not a great movie, was quite a bit of fun, and better than any of the "Fast and Furious" movies they've been making for the past decade. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesWhilst less complex in terms of the story, Overdrive ramps up the action, attempting stunts that would make even the Fast team baulk. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonUntaxing as drama, thin as entertainment, but modestly enjoyable as a revved-up caper movie, Overdrive is pure escapist fluff with a light French accent. Which still makes it smarter, leaner and cooler than any of the Fast and the Furious films it shamelessly mimics. |
| The ListEddie HarrisonOverdrive provides just enough crash-and-burn stunt action to satisfy undemanding thrill-seekers, but not much else. |
| Cine VértigoErnesto Diezmartinez... this derivative film about racing cars is, at least, innocuously entertaining. [Full review in Spanish] |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyOverdrive has all the features of a potentially entertaining action B-movie for overgrown boys: gorgeous near-mint vintage cars, rugged male performers, seductive female performers, ravishing European locations. What it doesn’t have is a lot of cinematic adrenaline. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)John LuiThe speed indicator goes from zero to, well, not much higher than that in this Euro-clone that blends the car porn of Gone In 60 Seconds with the multi-vehicle stunt action of the Fast And Furious series. |
