	Author	Review
United States	Marc Bernardin The Hollywood Reporter	"You wouldn't think a movie called 'Need For Speed' would feel so slow."	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Paul plays the part with the flinty, tightly wound charisma of a small man who makes up in moxie what he lacks in stature (...) and he’s by far the best thing 'Need for Speed' has going for it."	NEU
United Kingdom	Anna Smith Time Out	"Audiences purely interested in the cars won't be disappointed - frankly they're sexier than the cast. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Young men and fast cars are automatically stupid together, but even if you set your intelligence level at “off” (...) you’ll get a hangover from this cocktail. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"An energetic, unpretentious B movie (...)it is devoted, above all, to the delivery of visceral, kinetic excitement."	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Ostensibly meant to be light entertainment. If light is synonymous with preposterous, frenetic and noisy, it qualifies. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"There's nothing to distract you from a plot so tired there are tire tracks from other racing movies all over it. Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
