Whatever the budget was for this movie, every penny is up there on the screen. This movie cries out for an American remake!!! One only prays that if that day ever comes that the studio committees won't screw it up as they have done waaaay too often with foreign remakes. Taken from an Italian novel by Federico Moccia, this was originally filmed (in Italian) in 2004 then remade in Spanish in 2010. The story of a girl from a rich family who falls in hate/love with a smartass illegal motor cycle racing street hood kicks this up into a testosterone story about a thug trying to come to terms with his uncontrollable angers and find love amidst his own brutality. There is enough of a hard edge to the story and the characters to appeal to any red-blooded male in the audience. If one was to say that this is aimed at the female Twilight audience, one would only be partially correct.
