With an IMDb rating of 5.8/10, it is evident that while some viewers found it engaging, others were less impressed. Critics from various outlets have shared their thoughts: 'The racing sequences are thrilling, but the plot often falters,' noted a review on Rotten Tomatoes. The action is fast-paced and visually appealing, which aligns with the expectations from a film set in the exhilarating world of Formula One. 'Tomas Milian brings a strong performance as the detective, but at times, the script feels underdeveloped and predictable,' one critic commented. This sentiment was echoed on Metacritic where the film holds a score indicating mixed reviews from audiences. While some praised the movie for its nostalgic value and its ability to portray the era of 80s racing, others pointed out the lack of depth in character development and plot complexity. One IMDb user stated, 'It’s a fun watch for racing enthusiasts, but it won’t win any awards for storytelling.' Despite its flaws, the movie finds footing among fans of the genre who appreciate its blend of mystery and motorsport action.
