Reception
[edit ]In a positive review of the film, May Thornton wrote in The Advertiser , "Zane quips and smirks his way through, enjoys a little subplot about childhood sweethearts, but the real stars are the cars, backed with impressive special effects. The final word: Going, going, gone in 90 minutes."[5] VideoHound gave the film 1.5 stars and concluded "It's helpful to forget your knowledge of physics."[1]
