This movie was the worst 1 1/2 hours I spent watching a movie this year.When the cars go around the corners you see that they are nothing more than computer generated cars.They look exactly like the cars on the computer screens that are computer generated.The whole movie I rate at 1/10 one(1) for the time it took them to think this garbage up.

Even with low or no expectations, 200 M.P.H manages to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It is a very cheap-looking film, the editing is choppy and at times incomprehensible and the CGI effects are some of the worst of any movie I've seen, while the sound is muddled and the soundtrack manages to be both overbearing and repetitive. The dialogue is cheesy and banality at its worst, not helped by line delivery that is either flat or like the actors keep forgetting their lines(you can tell by the sluggish and awkward pacing of it). The story is so thin to the point of being non-existent and has no momentum or cohesion, while the car sequences have no excitement or fire and hindered further by the worst editing in the whole movie and effects so awful it begs belief. Much has been said about the ridiculous errors there are, and there's enough to make the largest Stephen King book seem comparatively short, and to the extent of a clear indication of the writers not doing any kind of research. It insults the intelligence, and that's even for those who are not as big an expert on cars as others, and credibility is next to nothing. Others have said that they feel like the same scene over again, and actually that is true. The movie does try to disguise it by using different cars each time but it doesn't work, you'll be shocked at how obvious it is. The direction has no style or character, in fact was there any direction here, and the acting especially from the leads is incredibly amateurish. The forgetting-of-lines-quality is just one of the problems, the complete lack of charisma, lack of chemistry and lack of involvement are just as bad. Overall, incredibly bad and even that doesn't cut the irredeemable awfulness that is 200 M.P.H. O/10(the lowest rating of all the movies I've seen in the past 4 months or so, mainly because of the effort of cutting down the times this rating has been given which actually is not very often with this viewer).

Sixty per cent of votes cast on IMDb (international movie database) for '200mph' were for a score of 1 out of ten.This was premiered on the SyFy channel...not sure what and how it's science fiction. I don't recall them ever showing Gone in Sixty Seconds...because that's the obvious comparative.It's straight to DVD and the Mazda RX7's and souped Nissan's are the only stars, adding humans sends things down the pan completely. I'm no car mechanic (Top Gear is about as close as I get) but I know that you should keep calling the same car model the same name and that you don't design a faster car (40mph extra, on top end) hammering keys on a laptop, whilst it's perched on the front wing of said car, say some magic words and hey presto! Everyone hi-fives and are delighted. The 'parts' get magically delivered for the next scene.The characters are either so stereotypical, such a chief mechanic being a young girl, in tank top and short shorts, who talks very fast, presuming to blind us with her non-sensical knowledge. Or, they're completely ridiculous. e.g. the young man who gets killed and thus the big race, as revenge, has a raggedy beard that's not trimmed or tidy and looks a bit of a tramp. He rolls home in this $80,000 top sports car, cos he's just been made manager of the franchise for the district and he can take home any car he wants. And his mother is a stripper. She is, I'm not making that one up...I tried to shut out all superfluous stuff other than the action. 160mph around L.A.? Well, very shaky cameras that obviously show the warp speed and sonic boom after, CGI and cut-editing and juddery this and that and everything.The soundtrack does its best to keep up and frankly, it's the best bit. I stopped watching it half way through. I'm due to retire in 20 odd years time and every moment is precious....Forget this one, unless you want to see the most utterly worse cop in history, all history, anywhere. Ever. He keeps up with the naughty boys and girls in an unmarked Ford saloon. 0/10.

I am going to defend this movie; at least a little bit. It's yet another lower budget movie based on street racing, and lets face it no true gear head is ever happy with movies like this. Period. Knowing that this movie was a decent movie for the time, would i recommend you go out of your way to watch it? No, but if you have spare time go a head.Now to cover some of the things other reviewers have said...1. The Nissan in the movie was a 370z; not a 350z.2. The 370z costs $42,000 roughly in the form that it was in for the movie.3. The $90,000 car was the Nissan GT-R, not the 370z.4. They have always made the GT-R both left and right hand drive so having it as such is valid for whomever complained.Now, we all know movies are not true. The explosions we see are over done for special effects in action movies so why does it surprise you they stretch the truth for a car movie.
