Just as the movie started and I saw THE ASYLUM on the screen, I just thought 'oh no...'
And yeah, this movie was exactly what you would expect from The Asylum; a mockbuster and a cash-on on the famous "Fast & Furious" franchise of course. But still, I opted to watch the movie, as once in a blue moon, then The Asylum does manage to put out a watchable movie.
"Fast & Fierce: Death Race" (aka "In the Drift") wasn't one such movie.
The storyline is every bit as stale and mundane as you would expect. So writers Mark Atkins and Marc Gottlieb didn't churn out something interesting, much less anything that proved entertaining or enjoyable.
The acting in "In the Drift" was every bit as stale and wooden as the storyline and script was. So yeah, you know what you are getting here. But of course, with a someone as DMX listed on the cover as the appeal to lure in audience, stakes aren't really that promising.
If you enjoy muscle cars, which I don't, then you might actually find some enjoyment in the movie, as there are some cars throughout the course of the movie. But if you are looking for a movie that provides you with a proper script and storyline to keep you entertained, then "In the Drift" is a really, really poor choice of movie.
Heck, I didn't even complete the movie, because it was so unappealing and anything but interesting. Now, I can't claim to be much of a fan of the "Fast & Furious" movie franchise either, but at least they had the budget and the cast to make it watchable. "In the Drift" had neither.
My rating of this 2020 mockbuster lands on a mere two out of ten stars. This was by no means the brightest moment in the history of The Asylum.
