Synopsis
In Competition
Across the crowded and fast highways of a videogame-esque Los Angeles, we witness a spectacular high-speed chase between the entire LAPD and four loud-mouthed, gun-toting gals on the run. But who is really at the wheel? Director Gamer (nomen omen) displays absolute mastery of CGI animation and special effects, which culminates in a jaw-dropping roller-coaster loop-the-loop sequence.
