🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director's approach is raw and vérité, capturing the grease and grit of the garage. The camera doesn't glamorize but stalks the characters through back alleys and smoke-filled strips.

This is for viewers seeking the sport's underbelly, not its shine. You'll feel the exhaustion of the endless chase and the engines' vibration in your bones. — MovieFinder Editorial
