In case you wanted to know how to turns corners tightly in a speeding automobile, there’s several brief cutaway shots in this Italian heist film that can tell you. (Press brake while keeping foot on gas.) It’s a minor detail, but a great one. As for the rest, this is not so much a car chase as it is a car bash. It’s not just two vehicles on each other’s tails. They crash into each other over and over again. One pushes the other down a flight of stairs. After they knock repeatedly into a truck carrying a tiny car, said car lands on top of one of their roofs, upside-down. These are hearty vehicles. It might take you a couple of viewings to notice, but the two cars switch models several times during their trip through Hamburg, Germany.
