Goofs:

Continuity: At the scene when McPherson and police open the back doors of the 18 Wheeler trailer, there are at least four people standing directly at the doors with their weapons ready. In the next shot the car comes out of the trailer, and only one person (McPherson) is seen behind the doors.

Quotes:

Shane: What is it with you, Ford? Everywhere you go, everything turns to hell.
Cary Ford: Yeah, it's a talent I have.

Out of Control

See this movie for the action, and the beautiful Monet Mazur.

This movie has tones of high octane thrills it almost makes you forget about a storyline. Because the story seems to drag itself around. For its action moments that seems to come in every 5-10 minutes of the movie. If not for the action this movie would be dull. Martin Henderson seems to do allright, and so does Ice Cube. But it's Monet Mazur, who seems to have a great blend of beauty and toughness in her role. I think she can have a great career ahead of her. The action was awesome, but acting was dull. But then again I thought Fast and The Furious was no better. It does'nt try to be anything truly terrific, it just tries to be a movie you can enjoy with your friends.
