Usually 4 stars is for cars seen for a long part of the movie and used a lot, or shown a lot in the scenes where they are used (reason for which I gave 4 stars to some cars of Ronin). -- Last edit: 2006-12-06 17:34:36

Has anyone else seen this film, should this and the Cadillac be 4 star cars? The only thing is they don't a huge amount of screentime, but they are used at the film's climax when they try to escape across the bridge. -- Last edit: 2006-12-06 17:36:43
