movies like copycat same

[DEAF8LKT888 · 4/10 · 20 June 2022]

Burn Out 2017,To save his loved ones, Tony must use his motorcycle talents for drug deliveries.

The racing scenes are very good. Apart from that, the plot is thin and far fetched. Any drug trafficker would try to behave as inconspicuous as possible. But here, the trafficker is told to keep a ridiculous schedule, ride at insane speeds and pass the road tolls without paying. That seems a good way to attract the attention of the cops.

Decent Film

[albertval-69560 · 6/10 · 17 June 2022]

If you thrive in the fast lane, this flick is definitely for you. The main character, Rafa (Alex Monner) gives the viewer an adrenalin rush as he goes through the motions of crossing the Spanish border in a super bike with drugs in his backpack and the police at his back.

Halfway through you think about how the movie ends because at that point, there are a couple of possibilities which is good for the viewer. There's enough suspense to get the viewer going. The viewer will root for Rafa.

The ending is not one that the viewer would have expected. But in the end, Rafa gets to ride his dream bike.

The movie couldn't get away with the obligatory sex scene between Rafa and Natalia but one can give this a pass.

The elan that Alex Monner displays reminds the viewer of an equally self-confident Spanish actor, Miguel Herran of Money Heist fame. The viewer might have also seen Begona Vargas in 2021's Law of the Border.

action thriller, who's thrills are hard to find

[LetsReviewThat26 · 5/10 · 21 June 2022]

If you like racing then you'll most likely like the scenes with the racing. I enjoyed the two actors that played natalia and rafe and I thought they were good. I didn't however find the plot to much interesting. There was some action here and here but most of which fizzeled out inbetween slow scenes. Don't get me wrong the film was still interesting to watch but overall it could've been done a lot better than this.

Stupid basis for the plot... but bike scenes are good, thus 2 stars instead of 1

[benbriere · 2/10 · 18 June 2022]

Stupid plot.

If you are carrying drugs across the border, you don't want to attract every cops attention by speeding when there is no time real time constaint for the drug dealers. Stupid.

Rule #1, obey the law !!! No speeding, no running stop/red light, no flashy car and have it in perfect running condition ... The people who wrote this script should have watched Clint Eastwood "The mule (2018)".

They lost me there at speeding while delivering the drugs, which is the basic premise of this movie. I stopped watching. Too stupid.

A Must See for All Motorcycle Enthusiasts

[asolomon-46191 · 7/10 · 26 June 2022]

Loved it. Since I love riding motorcycles and watch motor sports the movie especially appealed to me. The story is fairly straight forward but the movie was all about appreciating that Twist of the Wrist.

Rubbish

[searchanddestroy-1 · 3/10 · 28 June 2022]

This crap from Spain is obviously inspired, if not a simple copycat, by BURNOUT, a French film speaking of a young moto race pilot involved in drug traffic. Same topic but that's all folks, this one is so cheesy, so predictable, far far less bittersweet, especially in the end. I am surprised that no one has noticed this yet. You can live - or leave (the theater) - without it.

Burnout 1.5

[johntk1566 · 5/10 · 4 July 2022]

Not original but also not horrible. It's definitely an unashamed ripoff of the French film, but it does a couple of things differently. Netflix has gone B-movie grade with its productions, and this film is another example of something they probably should have passed on. Still, it's an entertaining movie to put on in the background.

COPY

[gregdaber · 1/10 · 18 December 2023]

The same story as th OF THE (NO LIMITS) MOVIE EXACTLY THE SAME there there's nothing new in the story everything remains the same as the other movie. I don't know why they uploaded on Netflix, but I think that it shouldn't be on the Netflix because it's just a copy of the another movie. I don't know the reason, but are you ready to be flat tire I write in fact the actor is not the same, but the story is exactly the same so bad that let me to that there's nothing in the movie so there's no reason to be uploaded onto thousand and 20 to the living there burnout movie 2017, which is already existed in the previous Netflix it ...

Much better than I expected

[paul-ayres-60784 · 9/10 · 22 June 2022]

I thoroughly enjoyed the bikes and the action and rate this as the best Spanish movie I have seen. Strong performances from the cast with a solid storyline and script. It's an adrenaline packed movie with plenty of visual entertainment.

If you're a young guy into superbikes, this might entertain you.

[bnitcamela · 5/10 · 18 June 2022]

But as far as plot it's been done dozens of times better before.

The film starts off earnestly enough. A young, accomplished, but still aspirational pro motorcycle rider deals with day to day life in Barcelona, where he works loading and unloading container ships at the port. Hie shares custody of his son with his estranged ex girlfriend and baby mama. Then things start getting interesting for him when she - unbelievably - is robbed of a large stash of drugs which the local mobsters have coerced her into storing for them. Needless to say, they are bad guys and they want their drugs or money back...NOW.

The rest of the movie devolves into the usual tropes about cutting a deal - albeit also under coercion - to repay the debt by extreme means.

There are too many unbelievable happenings and coincidences and they continue to pile up as the movie nears its end. In fact there are so many that today, 12 hours after viewing it, I've already forgotten most of them.

Throw in some cheesy Euro-electronica music and the superbikes and chase sequences, and that's all there is. A boring film despite some cool motorcycle chases and Barcelona scenery (predictably and almost universally now via drone footage).

This movie will appeal to younger men who like fast motorcycles and racing. Unfortunately, I'm neither of those things and therefore it fell flat after things became predictable and the amateur hour story started heading into its denouement.

A generous 5/10 for basic entertainment value and a trip to Barcelona via celluloid.

Mediocre Bike Movie

[t-d-t-m82 · 5/10 · 1 May 2023]

Indiependent bike racer has a difficult lifestyle jugging a full-time job in a container port whilst becoming an independent driver trying to seek sponsorship.

It doesn't work out as his partner is safeguarding drugs for a gang. The drugs get stolen and she has to payback except she can't afford it so the responsibility lies with the hero; Rafa.

There's some extreme plotlines here such as the timescale for the drugs' drop-off. The blue pills he takes which he would not do as a professional rider with random drugs' tests. The grueling shift work with his bike training would not happen as anyone that competent would have secured sponsorship.

His rivals having sponsorship but him solo makes no sense. Then suddenly the best future team is in on him and wants him yet wants him for trials after already seeing him in action in races. I'm completely confused. Even as an independent he'd need sponsorship and stuff.

The slick scenes are nice and the special FX company did a great job. I love the intro credits and they get a complete star for that. It's let down by a mediocre plot and utter dross. He's never once gone to the police for a start. The budget is low and it shows.

It's a nice advert for Honda and Kawasaki but not much else. I'm confused.

Ripped off another movie 80% at least lol

[18Buddha · 3/10 · 26 April 2023]

Normally I would rate movies by themselves without comparing them to other movies or plots.. but this time is an exception because this whole script and plot is ripped off from another movie called Burn Out (2017).

The plot of that movie is a guy is going pro to race on the circuits but then ex GF whois also the mother of his son owes money to drug dealers or criminals and he is forced to race on his motorcyle to run drugs to pay off whats owed.

Anyone who saw this movie so far.. If you read what I wrote then u will be like wait!? Thats exactly the script of this movie Centauro lol.

Both movies even take place in France lol

I would say at least 80% of the script is a direct copy-plagiarism, I mean normally u got movies who might have similar plots or 1-2 key moments in it that may be close or the same but told alittle different but this movie tells **everything** basically the same minus some small changes here n there.

This movie does have better quality video I think since its newer and probably would rate it a 6 if it wasnt 80% at least plagiarized lol.

Almost good

[corkshield · 3/10 · 20 July 2022]

The racing scenes are shockingly innacurate, they managed to bag some time at Aragon and the whole scene was just an unrealistic mess, not to mention when the main character broke down he transported half way round the circuit, if they managed to get 30 riders and an actual track together the least they could do is use it properly...

Apart from the awful, awful, awful racing scenes, it's an exact copy of the French movie "Burnout", but this is Spanish instead, so it has not so bad of a plot, but just terrible execution, question cinematography and cringey scenes "Kid on the Kawasaki saying broom broom".

Close to a decent movie which could've appealed to all bike racing fans, if there was someone who knew anything about bikes involved in making the film.

Great movie! Not just motor-bikes.

[migtames-94056 · 10/10 · 28 June 2022]

This is a honest movie. ¿Do you love motor-bikes? Then you will love it. The script is not particularly original: good guy Rafa helps out beautiful and dangerous ex-girlfriend (and mother of his son) after she is beaten by bad guys. Good guy gets entangled with bad guys. Plenty of biking. Bad guys are bad and get punished. The end? No spoilers here, but interesting. The girl is real hot but you will also find food for thought: "You are defined by your family". However, most importantly: the story is believable. Rafa is no James Bond or super-hero. Just a good and brave guy gifted for riding. No amazing special effects, but all the riding scenes are credible. The emotional side is also credible. This honest motor-bike movie will become a cult movie. Watch it.

Good Feel Good Movie

[edsoto10 · 8/10 · 25 July 2022]

In life you sometimes have to be someone you do want to be to survive. This was one movie that shows it. It also shows the things you do for family and love ones.

Great action, especially the bike races.

Great movie with unexpected plot, love this

[lokmnzaid · 10/10 · 23 June 2022]

I cannot image the end of this movie, what a great plot, although there is a scene quite in logic but bruh this is movie tho, even avenger has superpowers.

a freakin 10 out if 10

[v-86934 · 10/10 · 13 July 2022]

I have no idea what burnout movie is but I know this one is a very interesting movie I got hooked from the beginning to the end and I feel thrilled while watching this! Definitely worth the try. Don't mind the review if you like thrilling action that involves drugs this would do for you.
