Down in the "Dirt"

Racing movies have a way of getting your adrenaline running and wanting to get behind the wheel and rev the engine like The Dukes of Hazzard, but since I don't recommend breaking the law having a drag race, let's find out how amazing "Dirt" is to watch.

Dez Truss (DeRon Horton) is a seventeen-year old orphan caring for his little sister who finds himself on the wrong side of the law after stealing a Rolls-Royce and causing a police cruiser to crash in his effort to get away. Luckily a former mentor and police officer Captain Joe Freeman (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) calls in a favor to a former road racer now head of a team Rick Radden (Kevin Dillon) to take him in to live with him and his wife Glenda Radden (Christina Moore) and have him work on his team until he's eighteen. Yet when the team's driver Trent Lerion (Dominic DeVore) is made to leave the team, Rick has Dez step up to the plate, or rather the wheel and use his expert driving skills to keep them in the game, but when someone from Dez's past decides to cause trouble Dez must choose whether to keep on the straight path that will lead him to his sister and a successful career as a racer or risk losing it all to settle his debt with a crime boss that might not let him go.

An aspiring underdog movie. One that shows you can strive from nothing and make something of yourself, no matter where you come from. The racing puts you right in the seat to where you can smell the mud getting kicked up on the tracks. A film for race lovers and those looking for a good underdog story. Both of which give it the excellent rating of five G.M.Stars. So start your engines and get over to the closest redbox and check out this movie. You'll feel like a winner watching this.
