Dirs. Lilly Wachowski, Lana Wachowski. 2008, 135 mins. U.S. 35mm. With Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, Matthew Fox. Sitting behind the wheel of his Mach 5, Speed Racer is a young and brilliant racer and one of the track’s hottest stars. When he discovers hidden corruption in the racing leagues, he teams up with the mysterious Racer X and enters the same dangerous cross-country race that ended his brother’s life to stop the criminal activities of Royalton Industries. The Wachowskis’ candy-colored extravaganza is a vibrant and kinetic underrated action gem.
