Description:
David Arquette's offbeat charm will likely never make him a leading man. That's part of the fun of RPM, a tongue-in-cheek Euro-American car-jacking adventure about an American techno wizard whose sideline is stealing vintage autos for fun and... well, mostly just for fun. When New York gets too hot for him he flies off to Europe, heists his way through the coolest vintage autos in the south of France, and then hires himself out to a corporate pirate who desires a tightly guarded experimental car that runs without gas. Famke Janssen slinks her way through the film as Arquette's sexy nemesis, who matches him car for car and races him to the prize, and Emmanuelle Seigner costars as one of Arquette's victims won over by his goofy allure. It's a cute, if silly, little picture that plays like a low-budget James Bond spoof: cool gadgets, sexy women, handsome sports cars, all set in the lovely countryside of southern France. Ian Sharp isn't much of an action director but he captures the breezy spirit of the wisecracking script (cowritten by Pulp Fiction's Roger Avary). Like Arquette, he doesn't take any of it seriously either, and it works for this amusing little lark of an action-comedy. --Sean Axmaker
