Accelerate

About This Movie

Accelerate (1987) is a quirky blend of comedy and crime that captures a certain youthful exuberance. The film follows a young girl with aspirations of becoming a cop, which leads her into a somewhat absurd yet entertaining investigation of a car theft ring. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds to its charm, really, giving it that offbeat vibe. The practical effects, especially during the car chases, remind you of an era where stunts felt raw and real. Performances are a mixed bag—some actors embrace the material fully, while others seem to be in a different movie altogether. There’s a playful energy throughout, making it distinctive amid the sea of late '80s flicks. A curious watch for those who appreciate the oddities of that time.
