“Rev” (**1/2 out of four) was a better-than-average action melodrama about a young thief (Francesco Filice) arrested for grand theft auto who is offered a deal from a no-nonsense cop (Vivica Fox) to go undercover and infiltrate a criminal enterprise (headed by Sean Rey) of stolen cars and drugs but soon finds himself neck-deep in corruption, temptation, and life or death. Never fully detonates but holds its grip with its stylish direction and fast pacing. Owes an obvious debt to “The Fast And Furious” movies but better than most of its trashy imitations.
