Gabriel Cortez is the most notorious and
wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere. While being
transferred, he stages an escape from an FBI convoy. A heavy magnet picks
up the entire car from the street. He quickly changes clothes and he has a couple of guys
dressed in prison colors run interference. His getaway car is a recently stolen modified and
supercharged Cyber Gray Metallic Corvette ZR1 (C6) reported to be able to go
faster than flying in a helicopter at 200mph.
OK, this is not too bad, cheesy one-liners
but a lot of action and some big guns with bullets flying. Schwarzenegger is now 65 years old, he
seems a little rusty and he does not look younger!! 3* (This movie is OK)
Note: Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 60%
critic 57% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note: The cars are the real stars of this film. The 2012 Corvette C6 ZR1 is worth
$120,000 and the real horsepower is not 1000 but 638. A Victory Red Camaro ZL1 worth $60,000 with 580
horsepower was also used in a side-to-side race together with the
Corvette. The Corvette can do 0-60
in 3.4 seconds and the Camaro is 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Seven cars were used in the
filming and two were returned in reasonable condition.
