| Do not confuse this with the semi-classic Andy Lau biker movie. This one is marketed as an overseas "Speed." However instead of a bus with 20 different characters, you have a two door German car and two main characters you don't particularly like. It starts off nicely with an ambulance whipping it through some crowded streets to deliver what the driver thinks is an organ but is instead a bottle of champagne for a party. He promptly quits in disgust. About ten minutes later the driver and his boss' wife is trapped inside said coupe until the end of the movie. There's a voice on the phone telling them that if they try to get out of the car, a bomb will explode but about five minutes inside the car you've already figured out a way without endangering anyone but the characters still stay trapped inside. So literally nothing happens after that. There's some driving, some unexciting car chases, some bonding, but nothing to really keep you interested because you've already figured a way out and everyone's problems doesn't seem that interesting to be kept updated on. If they had more car chases similar to the one in the beginning then it would have succeeded. Instead it is worse than Taxi 3.
