Summary: HE'S BIG, HE'S BAD, & HE'S BALD!
Review: Charismatic Vin Diesel leaps to the top of the action heap portraying a new kind of hero: a no-nonsense daredevil of a "streetracer" who's "Fast" with the ladies and "Furious" with those who cross him, (hence the movie's title). Diesel oozes testosterone in every frame of this high-powered, thinking man's action pic that's sure to delight road scholars and the follically challenged.

Summary: Youth gone wild . . .
Review: When the sun goes down, the wheels come out (like vampires in the night) to race the deserted streets of LA. They race for money. They race for "papers." They race for respect. And they race to escape. It's urban chaos with babes; babes who can also race.Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker of Joy Ride, Varsity Blues) is an LA cop working undercover to find the hijackers who have been stealing from semi trucks as they're en route at highway speed. He befriends Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel of Saving Private Ryan, XXX), the intimidating, yet charismatic, tough-guy leader of the local race scene. Brian must prove himself as a racer and earn the trust of Dom and his race team in order to find out who the thieves are and stop them. Naturally, he also falls for Dom's sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster). And, of course, there's a rival Asian gang to shake things up even more. Paul Walker puts in a believable performance, however, it's all about Vin Diesel. He has such a captivating presence on screen. Hooking up with Director Rob Cohen (Dragonheart, Daylight, XXX) has really been a blessing for him. The cinematography here is just outstanding. The camera seemingly gets into the car, into the mechanics of the power and the acceleration. The filming/lighting has also created an LA that is appropriately surreal. The entire movie is one constant adrenaline rush - totally exhilarating. The race scenes involve some amazing action along the streets of LA. If for no other reason, you must see this film for A) Vin Diesel, and B) it's just a great action film.

Summary: Great for the Automobile Mod Junkie
Review: The director captures the cars in this movie in some enjoyable high-speed action. Fast, tricked-out cars are everywhere in this movie. However, the screenplay and acting are absent. If you are into street racing, this is a fun film to watch. It could be to street racing what Quadrophenia is to fans of Italian motor scooters. If you aren't really into fast cars and racing, this movie is not of any interest. If you follow what little plot there is, you will be hoping that Brian and Dom both die a deserved death by the time they are doing their last race.

Summary: Ex-Presidents in Ricers?
Review: Brazen, young cop infiltrates an underground gang to solve daring robberies, falls for gang leaders gal [sister], must eventually choose between new family and career. Sound familiar? Yes, so clichéd that it could be read straight out of Point Break among other things it manages to barely find its own shallow identity. Despite the obvious parallels, Vin Diesel = Patrick Swayze [now 50, btw, yikes] I found F&F an amusing, speed pumped view. Of course this film isn't about plot, or character development, everyone is just along to set up the race and robbery scenes. Played at that level it works well, and gives voice and visions to every fan boy strapping on a coffee can to their exhaust and adding stickers to the windows of their beaters. I suppose we could fault it for contributing to some abominations seen on the streets lately, but as a simple action flick it's passable now that it's playing free on premium channels.

Summary: Movie was [bad]!!
Review: The movie was good and the cars were [bad]. Wait, I got that backward. The movie was bad and the cars were sweet. The acting is aweful. Seriously, the only reason why I bought it is for the cars. I even ripped it to vcd and deleted all the "acting" I parts so all I had was the racing. It makes a great movie.

Summary: Great Special Effects, fun to watch.
Review: Fast and the Furious delivers exactly what the previews promised... a fun to watch movie with great special effects. The digital surround sound makes you feel like you're in the movie. No, the plot isn't superb, but no one actually watched this movie for the drama.

Summary: Too many people missed the point
Review: The point of this movie wasn't the acting, or the plot. To say an action movie about street racing has poor acting is redundant. Obviously you sacrifice acting to make the cars the main character, and the cars ARE the main character. And they do not dissapoint, as long as you know that you're seeing street racing. Not F1, not Nascar, not unrealistic $300k machines racing somewhere, but street racing. Normal people putting in real work into cheap cars to push them to the edge. I've also read too many ppl who are dissapointed with the cars, but the problem is that these ppl are simply clueless. The cars in this move are the epitome of street racing. No one races porsches and ferraris in street racing. Its all about the cheaper, souped up imports. Imprezas, Eclipses, Supras, Civics, Integras, RX-7s, etc. Maybe you'll see an American muscle car now and then, but not too often. They've gotten too expensive. Even more expensive but still retailed sports cars (i.e.- NSX, Viper) are too expensive for street racing. Don't rent/buy this movie if you're expecting to see $200k stock sports cars. THe stock price of these cars don't exceed $25k. I've also read a remark that the directors made up a chemical name to give an extra "ooomph", so to speak. To the contrary, nitrous-oxide, or "nox" as it is referred to, is a REAL program, used in conjunction with the cars computer to alter factory settings in order to squeeze out extra performance. (Granted, the "turbo boost" that you automatically get from pushing a "nox" button may be a little unrealistic). It is quite illegal but it IS used on sports cars in street racing. If you love cars, like I do (All cars minds you, not just high priced lookers), then you will like this movie. P.S.- After rewatching the movie, the acting nor the plot is terrible for an action movie. Vin Diesel does a decent job, as does Jordana Brewster. Michelle Rodriguez was quite disspointing though, I'm still waiting for her to play a non tough-girl role.
