SPEED RACER

The Wachowski brothers hated on my boy Asher D. He’s one of he UK’s hottest actors and member of the legendary UK collective, So Solid. He was actually on the set and they shot him as one of the drivers, but it looks like he didn’t make the final cut.

As far as comic book to Film adaptations go, this is very hot. At some points in the film though, it felt like the Wachowski brothers jacked ideas from ‘Sin City’, especially when you are first introduced to Racer X. Also a couple of the transitions were reminiscent of what Ang Lee did with the previous Hulk film too.

Despite this, the film is banging! The storyline, the cars, the way that the scenes are edited, and the innovative use of colours. Visually, they took the colouring and special effects to a different level like they did when they dropped the first ‘Matrix’ film. Easily one of the best films of the year.

I hope they put Asher D in the DVD cut.
