Summary: THIS MOVIE ....!
Review: Even hot women and fast cars could not save the horrible acting and stupid plot of this movie. After watching, all I could do is sit and think that I had just wasted one hour and forty-seven minutes of my life! This movie was bank rolled buy the "bolt-on" car parts world! Bolt on a turbo to your moms honda and race tomorrow! If he has a nine second car in the shed why does he spend all the money to build the other one!?!?!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: They still make Westerns, they're just disguised.
Review: I've seen this film (or at least the same story) about four or five times, but the characters were riding horses, not super-tuned cars.

The plot -- such as it is -- is a thin excuse to hang the cars, girls and stunts on, but it's a good, solid, time-proven plot that works real good. ((My step-daughter, who has borne my dissertations on why the remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds" was inferior to the original due to the producers insisting on adding a plot, pointed out that this film has a plot and it's pretty good. I allowed as how that was because it was a plot that made sense.))

While the thrust of the film (and of the article that inspired it) involves super-tuned asian sedans, the big set-piece stunt sequence and finale of the film involves a truly awesome nine-second blown Dodge, proving once again that there's no real substitute for plain old cubic inches to really move the mail.

Most of the cast are adequate to their jobs; Vin Diesel is the outstanding exception, recalling a young Lee Marvin in hi portrayal of a tough man who knows he's tough and doesn't need to prove it.

The truck highjacking sequences belong in anohter movie -- no way this sort of Road Warrior-style stuff would be able to go on without the cops showing up. The interactions between the local cops and the FBI are typical movie stuff; amusing but improbable.

And that final stunt -- though not the equal of the final stunt in the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" -- is both spectacular and appropriate to the overall form and content of the film.

Fun, some really nice driving/stunt sequences, nothing really durable to take away with you but you won't find yourself considering demanding a refund of your wasted time, as i did after the "Gone in 60 Seconds" remake.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: When I watched this movie I thought it was just going to be about cars and how they look when they are hooked up, but when I watched it I noticed it wasn't all just about cars but it had a good meaning behind it. It's about friendships that people make and how strong they can get in such a short amount of time ( the cars are just a bonus). This movie had such a good plot behind it, with everything from cars to friendships to love and understanding. I think this movie is worth 5 stars because it touches apon important things like -friendship -love -trust -family -understanding and forgivness. That is why I loved this movie. There is nothing they could change to make this a better movie. The cars where also perfect!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: HOT ACTION BUT BAD ACTING
Review: This movie had really fantastic racing scenes from the beginning to the end, but i found the acting a little too chessy and extremely horrible. I am truly disappointed that the director rob cohen didn't spend a little more time with the dialogue of the movie and just focused more on the racing and action part of the movie. But since this movie is a guy movie i guess he didn't really care about the acting and the plot of the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you liked Gone in 60 Seconds....
Review: Then this is definately a movie for you to get. I will admit I may be a bit biased because I am a fan of Vin Diesel, but the movie supports itself without the need for "Star power". I consider myself a bit of a Grease Monkey/Car Addict... So from the opening of the movie I was scootched as close to the edge of my seat as one can get, drooling over the Buffet of equipment (and Vehicular Art) that was paraded across the screen. Saliva aside... I found myself drawn into the movie for more than the cars (But they were nice!) The movie takes you through the guy's version of Male bonding and acceptance... forget about the techno-babble it boils down to Trust & Love of cars. It is a testosterone building experience just to watch. Vin Diesel is Mr. Billy-Bad-... in this flick with moments of human emotion that catch you off guard... but acceptably. The cinematography switches styles a few times noticeably but it only stands to highlight the fact that the implication of Speed or Emotion (On a different level) is to be NOTICED right then. This movie will more than likely be one that I need to replace (Due to the constant wear it receives). If you like Cars, If you like Car movies, If you still have a pulse... You will LOVE this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTION FLICKS EVER
Review: I loved this movie the first time I saw in the Summer of 2001.
In an otherwise mundane Summer,"Fast & Furious" heated it up a bit.
Staring Vin Diesel,the fierce Michelle Rodugeriz,and Paul Walker,
(Ja Rule has a couple of bit parts in it too)
this movie is exciting and just damn good.
No cheesy car scenes here,folks or bad scripts(even out of date
movie critics liked this movie).

I don't want to tell anybody the plot though 'cause that'll ruin it for you but you gotta see this movie!

(I can't wait for "The Fast & The Furious 2" to be in theaters).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Where's the characters?
Review: Oh wait, characters do not matter in an action packed film like this one. Its all about the cars, women, the special effects, and the speed! Hmmmm, seems more like the definitive film for a Kid Rock fan, then the good Art-house flick. Well, if you like action, get this film. Otherwise, if your like me, come on over and watch Emma.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Action Movie
Review: I've seen better action/suspense movies, but this is still very good. If you like cars of any sort, it's for you. Paul Walker plays a great role, as well as Vin Diesel. However, kids ages nine and down shouldn't see it, with the exception of a few parts. I wouldn't exactly rush to see it, but you should watch it whenever you can.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet
Review: the first day i got this movie which was the day it came out me and my brother watched it about 3 times and like 2 times the next day. even though the whole plot wasnt what critics would like it was good enough for me well anyway i thought it was cool. and since i dont know too much about cars and my older brother is like trying to get his cat all supped up i kinda got into this whole car thing. and to tell you the truth i think it kicks ....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie has GUY FLICK written all over it
Review: If you love cars, racing, or both, you absolutely must see this movie. There's more street racing and car lingo in this than the Dukes of Hazzard! If you at ALL like car-chases, than this movie is a must see!
