Its Not Just About a Race
The world wide and famous video game know for its luxury cars, reckless driving and stunts Need for Speed is an action drama film packed with pleasure. Directed by former stunt-performer turned director Scott Waugh, Disney’s film captures this eagerness through a tale of revenge, suspense and car stunt work.
Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul plays Tobey Marshall, an enthusiastic young street race car driver and business owner of a local auto shop in Mount Kisco, New York.

While doing that Dino offers Toby and Pete to joy racing in his illegal Swedish Koniseg Supercars and who ever wins the race out of the three earns some cash before the bigger pay off.
