The Heart Beats Faster….with Adrenaline (DVD Review) 14

Adrenaline (DVD Review)
It’s Not What You Drive, It’s What Drives You

I received the “Adrenaline” movie from Elliott at Edify Media and couldn’t wait to watch it.  My family is one that loves anything to do with auto racing, especially drag racing and NASCAR.  So a movie that had that, faith and great actors – we’re in!!

The story starts out really exciting and then changes drastically.  I love how the production company tied everything together and really made it so that you look at your own life and what is important to you.  The quote of “it’s not what you drive, it’s what drives you”, makes so much sense!!  You sometimes really just need to take a look in the mirror, and find out if what you are holding at a high point of importance in your life is really something that needs to be focused on.  Seeing how friends who became family in this movie, showed what our lives need to be about.

This movie is one that I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes movies about cars, racing, or even just life.  It is great for all ages, has a wonderful story and topics that ring so true to those that might not even be about this lifestyle.  Seeing what a difference we can make in others lives, though just simple things, really makes you take a look at what’s important!

Thanks Elliott for another great movie!
