Born into the family business of race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is one of the track's hottest stars. Sitting behind the wheel of his awesome Mach 5, Speed consistently blows away the competition. When Speed turns down an offer from the head of Royalton Industries, he uncovers a terrible secret: powerful moguls are fixing the races to boost their profits. Hoping to beat Royalton at his own game, Speed enters the same grueling cross-country race that claimed his beloved brother's life.Read More

Critic Reviews
-
"...feels more like an amalgam of Spy Kids and the Wachowski-directed Matrix trilogy -- juvenile and hermetic. "
Los Angeles Times
- Carina Chocano
-
"For a movie about velocity, the excitement factor is low and the races feel like a drag."
USA Today
- Claudia Puig

"...it's pure cotton candy -- entirely non-nutritious but too sweet and pretty for young people to resist. "
