Revenge is a dish best served fast. At least that is what comes across in the new trailer for the action movie Need For Speed. We get a little more of a backstory in this trailer. Apparently Aaron Paul’s character was set up for something and his friend did not come back. It is not exactly clear what happened, but it probably doesn’t matter that much. Anyway, after an unspecified period of time Paul gets out of jail, without having aged a bit. Throw in the obligatory “your mama” joke before the movie really gets going.
Paul decides that he must get revenge on the man who put him in jail. What follows is basically a full minute of cars racing and crashing accompanied by some stern looks from Paul and his assertion that he won’t stop until the job is done.
This is definitely going to be compared to the Fast and Furious movies. But judging from the trailer, Need For Speed has a more serious tone to it and doesn’t seem as cartoonish. But that doesn’t stop them from having cars literally flying over cliffs.
The movie opens March 14th.
