Going to see this movie this weekend (opening weekend).  I may be the only woman there without a child in tow!  Ha. 

Here's the Examiner.com article I wrote about the movie on its opening day. 

Interesting to note that IndyCar supports the film -- including racer Dario Franchitti who served as a technical consultant.

[Muse:  Racing's action and drama seem like they would make the sport a natural for film treatments; however, many race fans say that few race films earn their respect and appreciation.  What does it take for a movie about racing to earn high marks from the motor racing community?  Apparently, one important criteria (in speaking with longtime motor racing fans) is an authentic rendering of the action on the track.  Apparently, this is more complicated and tricky to achieve in a feature film than one might expect.].

Let me know if you like TURBO!
