Glau (Angel), the ''mysterious passenger'': ''She brings a haunting quality, while fulfilling my apparent need to have a superpowered adolescent in everything I do.''
I gotta say, I would've gone with "need to have a crazy, skinny brunette," but maybe that's just me...
That being said, I don't think the movie is going to be any good.
After seeing the trailer, I've revised my opinion of it from "Painfully, horribly, watch-from-the-hall embarassing," to "Mindless, stupid fun....too bad about Jessica Simpson."
I just can't stand to look at the three leads. Other than them, the casting looks inspired.

If you're being chased while driving, you can also do what the FBI refers to as the bootlegger's turn. It can be used only when going at least 40 miles an hour.

The maneuver reverses the car's direction in a split second.

And, often as not, blows all four tires, to say nothing of the internal damage from using the emergency brake like that. They went through so many General Lees on that show. Still, coolest damn maneuver ever.
