Tom Cruise reunites with Top Gun director Tony Scott and producers Simpson and Bruckheimer for this car-racing action movie that decidedly gets stuck in the pits
If Top Gun proved that Tom Cruise and Tony Scott were indeed "up there with the best of the best," this ponderous motorsports retread established that they were just as capable of skidding off the track as well.
Cruise is Cole Trickle, a would-be stock car racer who has to regain his confidence after a major prang (how hard can that be with Kidman ministering to your every medical need?).
It says something about the movie that even the racing sequences are boring. Still, it was the film that introduced Cruise to his future wife, so it wasn't a complete waste of time for him.

Verdict
A film in desperate need of a pit stop.
