Overdrive (1997 film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Overdrive is a 1997 American film starring Steve Guttenberg directed by Lev Spiro for Roger Corman.

The film cost $2 million.[1]

The Schlock Pit said "While peppered with dialogue drawn from the cliché tombola (“Racing is dangerous. It’s what I do”), the main flaw of Overdrive is the uneven clip at which it moves. Track scenes drag on [1], and they're largely devoid of excitement, all of which have a knock-on effect in regard to any momentum that Spiro tries to build."[2]

Premise[edit]

Reckless race-car driver Gary Stricker finds a woman who gives him a new reason to live, but she might also get him killed.
