Watch Landspeed For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simply Perfect

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Ignore the British guy. He obviously missed HIS tea this afternoon!It is a movie - it is Hollywood, not the Discovery Channel.No one ever went Mach 2. Long time until they even try.There was never a 5 car competition.There was never a $50 million prize.There was never a go-PD race.There was never some big love triangle between the drivers and managers.Stop whining.Sit down, shut up, enjoy the movie. Oh yeah, don't miss the disclaimer at the end about it being a work of fiction and that no real people, places or things are represented.By the way, the plot is hackneyed, the acting is decent, the special effects are nothing special - just a good, sit down and enjoy the testosterone flick.

I love movies, simple as that. As a result I've seen a great many of them, often more than once.Naturally there are good movies, great movies, bad movies and some dreadful movies. Once in a while, a movie is screened that is so awful, it actually becomes compelling to watch to the finish, like some kind of masochistic exercise into new areas of self abuse."Landspeed" has fallen into a new category for me. It was in all aspects so terrible, I felt compelled to finish it....but now I WISH I HADN'T! I am intrigued by what must happen to actors for them to accept projects such as this, and then further degrade the failed project with unutterably awful performances. Tell me it ain't so, Billy Zane, tell me it just ain't so.If you notice this movie on a schedule, avoid it as if it were a black hole, because nothing can escape its ghastly gravity! If I may make a cinematic metaphor; "Landspeed" makes "The Black Hole" look like "Casablanca." More about "The Black Hole" later.

Of course maybe that's just because it sits pretty much alone in the category. Low budget, bad script, questionable physics explanations, and inadvertently mocking the very thing you are supposed to be honoring are all there. Try and find "The Mission" BBC documentary video on the Thrust SSC actually breaking Mach 1. Much more drama and coolness.MAK

I was subjected to this movie the other night after being unable to choose the movie that me, my roommate, and my roommate's girlfriend were to watch that night. I have learned never to let my roommate or his girlfriend pick a movie again! The story involves a man trying to break the landspeed record and his past creeps up on him. While there were some fine actors in the movie (Ray Wise being the best in my opinion), Billy Zane looked like the wooded Ken doll he so desperately wants to be. The script felt like it was written for a ten year old and the movie looked like it ran out of money while shooting it. The effects looked so lame. Thank god my roommate's girlfriend likes the Ken doll look on Mr. Zane or I would have pulled this out of the DVD player and used the DVD as a coaster for my can of soda. Do yourselves a favor: rather rent "Istar." At least it is so bad you can laugh at it's badness.
