Summary: Accept it for what it is
Review: 'The Fast and the Furious' was one of the better racing movies I've ever seen. 'Driven' was terrible but when I saw this film at the budget I knew I'd have to have it on DVD when it arrived. Yeah, let me get it all straight: there is no plot, no script and no acting. Vin Diesel, who was much better in 'Saving Private Ryan' or even 'Pitch Black', did a poor job here, but we continue to watch Stallone and Schwarzenegger, right? Case closed.

But back to the film itself: 'The Fast and the Furious' is not supposed to be nominated for Best Picture this year. Everyone in this world is always wanting the next big hit. Haven't you noticed that great movies are just about extinct due to the fact that producers are trying TOO hard? (Look at Pearl Harbor.) 'The Fast and the Furious' was made for teens and those who love cars. I'm 16 years old and thought this movie was average. My friends loved it. I can't stand movies with a plot as thin as paper and a script that is non-existent, (not to mention terrible acting, which this movie has), but when I went to see 'The Fast and the Furious', I knew I'd get fast cars and fast action. That's what I got and I left satisfied.

If you want the next 'Shindler's List', 'Forrest Gump' or 'Titanic', avoid this film at all costs. If you're willing to look at who it was made for and why it was made, go right ahead.

(Note: The DVD is great, too. The picture and sound quality is outstanding and the extras are plentiful. (I've yet to get through them all.))

Thanks for reading. Remember: everything isn't made for the academy, but for the people who really count: the viewers.

Summary: The film is fast and furious. (4 1/2 stars)
Review: This action-loaded rocker puts the pedal to the metal and rules the screen with incredible stunts, adventure, and very fast cars.

Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is the king of the Los Angeles street racing jungle. After a new guy by the name of Brian Spielman (Paul Walker) comes in wanting to race and take all for the win, Toretto agrees. Realizing that this toad has actually got the right foot to put on the high powered gas, Dominic lets him join his band of racing brothers and tries to get him racing some more. But what he fails to realize is that Spielman is actually an undercover cop sent in to nail them for robbing trucks carrying stolen electronics merchandise. With fully loaded tanks of NOS, the race begins.

What is so interesting about this adventure is that over the course of time, you forget that Paul Walker is actually a cop. You feel as though he's on Toretto's side. But reality breaks in when Brian must complete his mission in a last chance effort.

First off, the action is a rocket. The feel of traveling at 150 MPH actually sets in when watching the races. The dramatic aspect of the culture is really a bold tone that sends a shivering adrenaline rush through your spine. This film is mature enough to handle itself, while it seems as if one slip could send this film overboard. The stunts are incredible, and the plot (while simple and average seeming) is genious. The action delivers. I was impressed throughout it all. A sequel isn't demanded, but seemingly and most likely inevitable.

QUOTE: "Everything works. Everything sizzles. Everything makes it a great action picture. This film really gives a new meaning to the new-age "cool". The action is on overload, so be prepared for a thunderstorm of a distinct blend of pulse pounding adventure and brilliantly constructed plot that packs the fun. THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS is a fire blazing tatomic action prodigy!"

Summary: Super Slick Adrenline Fueled Supercharged Film
Review: This Film is fantastic! Right from the start we are led into a fantastic car-chase. ... I have never wanted a honda so badly!! The story is very similar to a certain playstation game. If i were to say the game i would spoil the twist. This film is action through and through. the film has several twists and you begin to doubt who the baddy is. Very well thought out and the visuals are great. These film is intended to keep you on the edge of your seat and it achieves this with bangin tunes, slammed motors and cars so maxed that the family saloon just will not do! Explosions gunfire and tyres screeching really test your sound set up. The Atmosphere at the first race fills your ears and really makes you feel like you are there. All in all this DVD is a sound purchase, and you will watch this one over and over again. top film!

Summary: Fell below my low expectations
Review: I was hoping for a mindless car movie. It's certainly mindless, but it's not even about cars. There's more fighting and shooting than racing. (And it's not a very good fighting and shooting movie.) What driving is shown is less realistic than a Bond film. It looks like they did the Benny Hill trick of speeding up the film. Then after a minute of driving, they get out and talk about cars -- and the dialog must have been written by someone who has never owned a car or read a single word about racing. If you like cars, you'll hate this movie, and if you're not into cars, the ads have probably already convinced you not to buy it.
If you want a car movie, I recommend Bullitt. Thirty years later, it's still king.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Life in the fast Lane
Review: "The Fast and the Furious" is not an ordinary movie. It's one of the biggest box-office suprises this year and when you take a
detailed look at the screenplay you might wonder how this movie became such a huge hit. The formula is simple but effective;
Two actors with charisma,(Paul Walker is a real hunk, who has a rather calm acting style in the footsteps of Keanu Reeves and if you close your eyes you might think you are listening to Keanu.
Vin Diesel has a very prominent appearance, and his talent caught Steven Spielberg's attention who did cast him in "Saving Private Ryan". In "Boiler Room" and "Pitch Black" he gave solid performances. But for both actors $10,000,000 + salary barrier was exceeded after the huge success of "Fast & Furious"),
Hot looking but unknown actresses (Monica Tamayo,Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez),
Dynamic soundtrack with literally furious Hip-Hop and R&B songs by popular artists of the genre (including Ja Rule, Limp Bizkit, Faith Evans, R. Kelly, Ashanti, Petey Pablo, Shade Sheist, Gotti etc.)
And most importantly fast hot cars giving us all the excitement and big quantities of adrenaline.
One has to be very optimistic to be able to speak of big performances of the actors or plausibility of the plot, but obviously this formula is working. The concept of street racing is attractive for most of us, maybe even seen as a symbol of freedom, and this cultural phenomenon was successfully made into a movie. (I'm still wondering if the producers of "Grease" are the parents from the producers of "Fast&Furious" ;)
The stimulation doesn't come through the plot but simply through watching all those custom made cars, hence I would highly recommend the DVD with many extras for enjoying the movie over and over, but I wanna repeat a warning from the "Fast&Furious" team:
All of the racing stunts in The Fast and the Furious were performed in a staged environment by professionals with years of training and experience. Please do not try any of these yourself. Be smart. Drive safe. Stay legal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Action, Great Sound, Great Visuals
Review: Although the storyline is Point Break, it was never meant to be a plot to challenge the brain. Nobody cares about the storyline - just show us the cars and special effects - just like with "Gone in 60 Seconds". It's OK to buy a movie because it gives you an adrenaline rush, or it looks and sounds good in your home theater. That's what this movie does on both counts - very well...
