Summary: Boring...
Review: This movie was boring. The plot was ridiculous. It would have been much more interesting if they'd decided to go with a little bit of intrigue rather than just plowing through with the bad guy they'd been hinting at the whole movie. In the end the action is tedious. Go rent Bullit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A guy flick? Maybe not....
Review: When I first heard about this movie, I was told "it's just another 'guy' flick" and advised not to go see it. Well, I ignored that advice and I'm darn glad I did cos it's a great movie! Although the plot is a little weak, the strong cast holds it together and makes it a movie worth watching. Brian is instantly suspicious and the explaination for his behaviour is no big surprise. What is a shock is who is behind the truck robberies; although the suspicion is there the film makers throw the viewer a few red herrings to throw you off the scent. The two female leads are so vastly different that complement each other perfectly and the "team" is so diverse that you never quite know where they're coming from. A bunch of nice cars, and nice bikes, adds the finishing touch to an intimate look at the illegal street racing scene of today's American youth.

If you're not sure rent the movie rather than buying it but WATCH IT as it's a great movie with a wondferful cast.

And there's always Vin Diesel with his shirt off for the ladies to look at ;->

Summary: im buying this dvd ITSSSS EMMMMENSSEEEE
Review: Ok, I know my review is like 428th and no one will ever read it but i have to write a review cause the films classic. I LUVVVVVV car films! gone in 60 seconds is probaly my uther favourite movie.
THIS IS A CAR MOVIE.
Ive read other reviews sayin the actings bad, bad plot, unrealistic etc. Ok the plots not the best but that wasnt what i was lookin for. Rob Cohen has shown the culture of illegal street racing perfectly.FIT girls, FIT cars and rock hard guys. Especially like vin diesels character Toretto. The cars are brilliant, races are brill and you havent got a dead complicated plot. WATCH THIS FILM!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bad Plot, Sweet Move
Review: This movie has a bad plot, but it was still great! The cars and racing scenes were sweet, just the story line wasn't all that good. This is a movie for people who like action movies or cars. Pretty good acting too.

Summary: The Daft & the Curious
Review: When visiting the Czech Republic, a Czech friend suggested that we see a movie together, and due to problems translating American movie titles, she took me to see "The Fast & the Furious" on accident. After a couple of hours, we - the entire audience - rolled out of the theatre laughing hysterically. (This is saying a lot - Czech theatre-goers tend to lap-up American action-adventure films.)

Though the special effects were impressive, the boys and girls were pretty, and the music was thumping, this was the single worst movie I've ever had the misfortune of seeing!

Don't get me wrong - I enjoy silly movies as much as the next guy - I recently saw the Austrian robot, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his new movie, "Collateral Damage," and I had a great time.

But please, give me a break: the FBI orders the LAPD to infiltrate a high-tech street-racing gang accused of freeway hijacking 18 wheelers using suped-up Honda Civics - the FBI's rationale is that they don't want the truckers "to take things into their own hands." This is the REAL plot!

This movie gets a three groan rating!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Typical Hollywood shock movie w/ no redeeming qualities
Review: _____I saw this movie before, when it was called "Point Break." Cop infiltrates a clique to find criminals, only to find that they are "nice, honest people who are just looking for the best in life." Only this time the cop has to master an import racer instead of a surfboard. Cop falls in love with girl who is part of this clique, then discovers that yep, these are the guys I'm looking for!

_____The cliche of characters only enhances the cliche of this movie. Vin Diesel: bad-boy leader who has a puppy-dog heart, loved his daddy, and races for the thrill. His girl is the typical silent beauty, good with cars but for some reason always has perfect hair and skin. Add to this the troubled youth who is a wizard when it comes to cars, but can't diagram a sentence.

_____I won't spoil the ending, but if you have seen Point Break, then it is already spoiled for you. Please pass on this movie.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: It's fast, but definately not furious
Review: "The Fast and Furious" is another typical look on deep-cover cops that investigate speed demons. The film is pretty much "Point Break" on wheels. And then and there is when I become confused and Disaipointed with the silly plot.

Paul Walker plays Brian, a hunky and adventurous speedster, who is also, a undercover cop. He seem mysterious about a cute girl, Mia (Jordana Brewster) and her shady, order-giving brother, Dom (Vin Diesel). It turns out to be that Dom is a leader of a street racing gang, bent on money and their half-ass obbession with "Nos". Brian already has a bone to pick with the gang's thug, Vince, and the ability to be "accepted" into this gang, by street racing Dom and his hot, red, suited up Mustang 3-4X. He loses, of course. Brian ended up beting on the race with his car's pink slip instead of money. After a shoot out between a rival motorcycle gang, lead by Johnny Tran (Rick Yune), Brian's car is ruined...but he gains respect from Dom, after he rescued him from the cops. It is then we find out that Brian is really a cop, working undercover to solve a case, involing Road Warriors whom steal contriband from semi-wheeled trucks. The rest of the film is about tust, loyalty and of course, action.

"Fast and Furious" Never ceases to slow down. The plot moves too fast (no pun intended) and the characters never seem to develop, besides Diesel's character, in a suposively dramatic sequence when he talks to Brian about his father's doom and his violent past. Most music fans (including me) will be disaipointed by how rapper Ja Rule is only in the film for less than 10-minutes and not even his character (who seems not too far from what he may be like in Real Life) is fully developed; heck, his character isn't even apart of the story, by far. The only thing that will get people to see this movie is (of course) the fast cars. Why don't you just watch NASCAR???
