Hotwired in Suburbia

Even the trailer is god-awful. I wanted to see what all the negative reviews were about, now I wish I had that 2.5 minutes of my life back. This is more of a "previously on..." montage than an actual trailer. It's basically just clips of the film stuck together for 2.5 minutes. The story looks boring and far-fetched.

I know this is a made for TV movie about two (2) high school girls who are a bit on the wild side but I like my crime films to have some level of reality. These two (2) car thieves decide to hot wire cars and make a few bucks selling them to garages that strip the cars for parts, but actions such as these without real penalties tends to glamorize the grand theft auto crime when in reality they could get caught by the car owners, and not the cops, and then they may have to suffer real street justice. The acting was okay, but the music scores attempt to create suspense fell flat, just as the two teenyboppers film ending left me flat. I give the film a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.

Let's start at the beginning. Stealing a Mustang by hot wiring it. Would not be possible at all. And the high speed chases was slack. Could tell they was all doing like 20 mph. Storyline made no sense what's so ever. She orders parts for her 69/ 70 charger but buys headlights for a 2012 with angel eyes? And also ordered some black alloys but when restored they are obviously chrome.

While the basic premise is somewhat plausible, the execution is not. First of all, "hotwiring" went out of fashion fifty years ago, when GM came up with the locking steering column, which locked the steering wheel and the gear selector mechanism. While motor vehicles are still being stolen, it requires a bit more sophistication than simply twisting two wires together. The modern variation on auto theft, which involves sophisticated electronics, is a reality. This makes one wonder what they were thinking when they came up with the idea of RFID technology, so that one need not reach into one's pocket to use a car key to enter and start a vehicle. What could possibly go wrong???

Has so many plot holes and extremely dumb decisions by the characters (other than unrealistically stealing cars for a profit). Worst unrealistic moment is when one of the protagonists hits the main villain, who then drops their gun, multiple times in the head with a heavy object causing them to bleed, but then runs away with said heavy object (which subsequently somehow vanishes into thin air) and leaves the villain not even unconscious!?!?! Combined with tacky, out of place, rap soundtracks every 10 minutes, would not recommend this movie.
