Movie Was Great!!

When my buddy told me that I should see a movie named Speedo, I was uncertain to say the least. When I learned it was about a demolition driver, I perked up a little, but when I saw the movie I was completely entertained.

This wasn't no story about a guy in a speedo, but a tough - driving, lovable character. Check it out.
