For most people, movies that focus on the characters is a good thing. But in this case, it was too much about the characters and not enough about the bikes and not enough actual biking action except for the occasional stunt. Because of this, the movie didn't do better than lukewarm with audiences and critics alike since it wasn't at all special, was highly formulaic, and it did even worse with actual motorcycle enthusiasts. Hell, most RL bikers seem to talk about "Wild Hogs" far more than "Biker Boyz".

For the TFATF series, they hit gold because they also focused on the cars and the engines, mentioning several actual models and even mentioning the 2JZ engine by name which 95% of the audience probably had no clue what it actually was but were still able to figure out that it was special somehow. In this movie, if they mentioned even a single bike make or model by name, I can't even remember it. And the action in TFATF was legit, if stereotypically overblown in Hollywood fashion but at LOOKED great, while BB's action was just a few seconds of stunt riding, choreographed kickstand dropping, and a, "Look at this cheesy vision tunnel get looonger!" Very weak. If you didn't care much for the characters, then you didn't care much for the movie as a whole.

I LOVED this movie. Super fun, engaging, great acting, exciting, with depth. This is the movie that the Fast and Furious creators watched, and then copied with cars instead of motorcycles. Laurence Fishburn was amazing as always. I will watch this movie over and over again.

Although it has a few good actors in it, there was a reason they did not make a sequal. Overall the acting is horrible the plot is worse and unless your 14 years old and still think watching movies will help you learn how to ride a motorcycle please save hour or more of your life to watch something better

Love this movie if your into street bikes and racing this is the movie for you. Watched this movie for the first time when it was on VHS. Hunted it for years on DVD finally found it.

I can't believe spielberg had anything to do with this silly, shallow nonsense of a film. and Lawrence? what in the world is he wasting his time and talent on this trash?

Loved this movie. Adding to my movie collection. I'm very big on having family movie night. We loved this movie. Thank you for adding happiness to my families movie night. Will be purchasing more from the company.

I was hoping to see some good mc racing, instead it was more about gangsta homies in the hood. I'd rather take out my hoe... and garden than waste my time looking at this.

This movie tries to be serious but comes off as corny. Think biker gangs done in a rom com style. It's ultimately about emotions and relationships, not speed and insanity.
