Reviews

blumdeluxe "Days of Thunder" tells the story of a young and hungry NASCAR driver, who competes for honor and glory and has to learn the hard way that speed and fame can have an enourmous price.I'll set aside the fact that noone should cast Tom Cruise anymore and just talk about the film itself. It is pretty much a classic sports drama, evolving around a few ambitious drivers who give each other a hard time, realize what's important in life but can't really let go their addiction for speed. Nothing spectacular, but very solid filmmaking with some touching and honest moments. Maybe more Hollywood than reality but it has its moments.All in all you can give this film a watch, it has somehow shown to be a Sports classic by now. It doesn't set new standards or surprise but it delivers a solid performance.

rupak_speaking I saw Rush (2013) and then I saw Days of Thunder (1990), and the result is obvious, lame. The chemistry between the racer and his car maker/crew chief, with his girl Kidman, with his rival, Cruise's charm, nothing really captivates. Apart from the racing scenes, hardly anything to catch your eye, an overall drab affair, a racing fan may just pass through this and for that I give it a generous 6.

oragex Of course it is not a good movie. But again, it is a Top Gun remake. If there wasn't a Top Gun before, this would have been a nice flop.With Top Gun in mind (the resemblance is obvious, producers wanted a similar film with a different set, it makes this funny to watch.Exaggerated skin color and setup tints, repeated close ups on Tom's pretty and sad/hurt/cocky face, 'fast action' car race scenes, exactly the same receipt as it's predecessor. Sadly, producers forgot two items: first, the love story (sigh), and second, if you can digest the fighter plane questionable acrobatic/fight scenes, it is much harder for Daytona fans to accept the lack of realism of a real race car.The film pace is quite well sustained throughout the film.Nicole is not acting. She just standing or should I say 'postering'Still, nice to watch with some good popcorn or a big hot chocolate on a rainy day, why not?

lemma54-1 If, in the last 19 years, you haven't taken the time to watch Tony Scott's masterpiece Days of Thunder, then here is a handy reminder. Get on it!Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) is a hothead NASCAR driver with a scalding temper and a smokin' first entrance in jeans so tight that he has trouble bending at the waist. After getting into a sizzling car accident with a fellow driver, they both suffer from "brain squash".I don't wan't to write any spoilers, but if you want to read about more silliness (and there is so much more silliness) go to http://www.bigmessofthoughts.com/archives/62
