A gamer with no prior driving experience joins a racing team that consists of a scarce female driver (Quinlivan) and a motor sports drama quickly turns into a cringe romcom.
This Reynolds-esque monotonous drivel containing pathetic racing scenes and a lackluster plot makes me feel disrespectful to Jay Chou – a Taiwanese pop star who also plays a cameo in this film.
In Jem Chen Yi-xian’s painfully repetitive motor racing film, Nezha, where Tsao Yu-ning portrays a world champion gamer, has no driving experience but is accepted into a professional rally team. The sheer absurdity of embracing such a plot device is astonishing, especially after the roughnecks were sent into outer space, instead of teaching trained astronauts how to drill holes.
Jay Chou Jie-lun then produced his wife Hannah Quinlivan’s first female driver role as a championship winner, and Tsao’s hesitant partner in Nezha. Unfortunately, people mistake it for the Chinese animated masterpiece with the same name. The movie ultimately aims to be sport centric but collides recklessly into every routine sports cliche while also shamefully turning into a boring Days of Thunder immitator.
Jack (Tsao) has trouble adjusting to the driving scenario as it tends to get him quite anxious and nervous. This however does not prevent rally team The Lions from hiring him after Lily (Quinlivan) gets into a fight with the captain Jeff (Van Fan Yi-chen) and suffers an injury.
Though Chou has never shied away from pretending to be a racing so in 2005, he played the lead in the Hong Kong’s adaptation of popular Japanese manga Initial D and in this instance as well, he had a minor role in the movie where he made cameos. Not only did he have a trivial portrayal, which did not matter, but also that posed him as someone who dreams of having a grander Nezha cinematic universe. Those who watch closely may also notice some guesses to Initial D along the way.
The filming of the races is terribly poor, and coming from an artistic sport drama perspective, I don’t see how the movie Nezha was able to do any better. The Lions have been struggling since their favorite owner passed away. The leading driver, Jet (Kao Ying-hsuan), has moved to their top competitor Wolves and Jeff is now well past his heyday. Even more troubling for such a high stake scenario is that the addition of Jack makes an already overstressed pit crew even more dysfunctional and the season plays out with all the standard backstabbing, feuds, tragedies, and clutch wins.
Realistically though, the entire romance of Nezha is sappy. It is mind-boggling. And this is particularly evident in the film’s consistent story negligence of the professional rally driving circuit. Oh really, I wonder why. Does it happen to be a side effect from Jack blowing stuff up all the time? Every time Jack goes boom, all the romance parts instantly make so much more sense.
It’s like Chou is going to dejected gamers everywhere that if you just step outside, everyone can get a glittering girl like his. But if fools like Chou and the rest of the crew do not know how to present something better than this insulting rubbish, I suppose we would all be better off just never leaving the house.
