OK, Need for Speed, if we must, and we must because I sat through it (running time: 130 minutes) and do not see why you should be spared.
Need for Speed is based on a video game and here is the plot synopsis: ‘Vroooooooooom! Vroooooooooom! Vrm, vrm, vrm…VROOOOOOOOOOM!’ And it’s the sort of ‘Vroooooooooom!’ which vibrates behind your forehead, making it feel as if it may blow it off, while also making it hard to doze or zone out mentally, which is a pain. And here is the plot in more detail, from which you will also not be spared: Aaron Paul plays a good guy who drives customised cars very fast, while Dominic Cooper plays the bad guy who drives customised cars very fast and in the end the good guy who drives very fast must race the bad guy who drives very fast, like the outcome is in any doubt, or we care.
