When L.A.’s street bike culture started making motorcycle theft a major problem, the California Highway Patrol devised an undercover operation. Then things really spun out of control.
This Los Angeles Magazine article wastes no time in referencing both The Fast and the Furious and 21 Jump Street, so it's no surprise that the story seems destined for the big screen treatment.
It's a bit reminiscent of the Furious knock-off Torque, but with more of a focus on character than action.
I'm starting to see how easy it must be for producers and studio execs to read these true life stories and the ones with everyday characters up against unbelievable odds and say, "It's Argo meets... Fast and the Furious." This has that same vibe of real stakes, but super colorful characters, and unlikely heroes.
Whether there's room for another undercover cops and fast vehicles flick, it's a fun read.
