GO FAST is yet another EuropaCorp films. Like most of them it has a good concept, a short running time, great character actors as leads and a lot of (predictable) fun. This time it's about a cop whose buddy gets killed by smugglers who race their product across the Franco-Spanish border in fast cars, leading him to go undercover and infiltrate them. First off, ignore the DVD cover; this is not a balls-to-the-wall explosions'n'gunfights film. Rather, it's a procedural - lots of focus on how to do things - with a bit of poetry in it. There are only three short gunfights and one car chase. But it's lovingly shot, from the grey hate of the banlieus to the grey-yellow Mediterranean, from the vivid illuminations of the car dashboard to the dim lights of empty petrol stations at night. The score is pitch perfect, a sort of quietly moody raver soundtrack that complements the driving segments. The actors don't have much in the way of character to sink their acting teeth into (there is simply no character development) but they all have great faces, even the ones without lines. There is a romance, in the last five minutes, which lets the film end on an astonishingly gentle note. No classic but not a bad way to spend 85 minutes either.
