Not bad, but i think that claim of "140mph" is a bit crap...
Most of the time he`s only just about going quicker than normal traffic.
I mean he does run red lights, swerve around traffic, dodge pedestrians etc... but the speed isnt that great.
Getaway in stockholm is much faster.

It's all a bit haxed though. The sound effects are added in to make it seem faster. It's shot with a wide angle lense to make it seem like things on the edge of the screen are whizzing past. And if you work out the speed using the time taken to go between land marks (known distances) it wasn't going anywhere near as fast as the director claimed. It was also promoted as being a Ferrari 275 GTB belonging to the director, but he said later it was actually a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9.
Basically a director being controversial to get noticed.
Hmm remenicent of my drive to work through barking, although my fiesta tops out at 90 mph.
