This film has excellent car-racing scenes full of excitement. Panavision. Grade:A-.

Summary: Thrilling, heart-pounding action movie
Review: I walked into the theater not knowing exactly what to expect from this movie. The action packed commercials had lured me into the film but not knowing much about cars, I wasn't too sure if I would understand everything. This movie was everything its title promised to be, right from the beginning. The plot is simple-Brian Earl Spilner (I've seen this movie 8 times, I know by now), is an undercover cop who is assigned to learn more about Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his "team" of late night street racers. The goal is to find out if it was Dom's team or one of the other local racer packs who has been terrorizing California truckers, stealing their shipments. However, Spilner soon becomes part of the team and falls for Dom's sister. The movie continues as he tries to crack the case under the pressure of the FBI, police and suspicions of some of the racers.
I am by no means a car afficianado now, but I can tell you that after seeing this movie I learned a LOT about cars. I can't wait to find out about local underground car races and get involved. Its easy for any viewer to recognize that the cars in this film are top quality and being an Eclipse lover, I was personally thrilled. You can't possibly help get pumped up by the incredible racing scenes. Of course you can't discuss this movie without mentioning Gone in 60 Seconds, but this movie goes above and beyond that film in every aspect. And girls, don't be weary, I know I thought it would be a total guy flick, but once you catch a peek at Vin Diesel and Paul Walker you'll be thankful to see this movie.

Summary: The rings of Saturn aren't a big enough Zero for this poop.
Review: Awful, Awful, Awful. This film could have been great & I thought it would be based on some interesting reviews. But what a joke!
The actors(?!) can't act, the script was absolutely terrible..who affects speech like this? So embarassing to hear white people mimic urban black street speech. I cringed! Unintentional rascism? The only intelligent person, or I should say the only character who was portrayed as being intelligent(the computer/engineer geek who of course dies) has a learning disability! WHAT!
The cars are the stars of the film. The desire to see the cars is the real lure here. Not once does the director focus the camera on them and them alone. They missed the whole web of fantasies assosciated with car culture.
And the music was so scouse, so low-budget. A wasted oppurtunity on every level.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Disappointment
Review: I fully understood that this would be an action movie based on a cookie-cutter plot. What the hey, I just wanted some escapism. But it wasn't quite so.

Oh, there's action. But not at the pace I expected. It's here and there, between overlong stretches of ... uh ... "plot."

And when the action arrives, it isn't that stupendous. Mostly sequences of cars going very fast ... in a straight line. Not terribly interesting. Some shots of cars in formation were kind of nice to look at, though.

There are a couple of good stunts, but you saw them all in the previews. They provide some interesting visuals, but that's about all.

The human angle is laughable. The romantic interest is wafer-thin on plausibility. Unless you're really into how these cars are souped up on nitro, I don't recommend a buy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish I could have my time back.
Review: First of all, don't expect any kind of realism from this movie. I was dumbfounded when the main characters FLOORBOARDS came out of his passenger side when he used his nitrous boost. Next scene he picks up someone who was running from the cops, no problem.

Each of the "underground street races" have about 10,000 to 20,000 spectators (you can see them flying by the whole time, even when the speedo is reading 160mph... yeah sure), and yet none of them get caught by the cops when they do finally show up (after the race is over, of course).

Honestly, I stopped this movie before it was over. The acting in the movie is terrible, and the cars were little more than import tuners with a bunch of plastic ground effects and lowered suspension. The story has been done time and time again, if you want to see an underground cop movie, at least watch one of the originals in this cheesy genre like Point Break, or Terminal Velocity.

Do yourself a favor, use your time for something more desireable, like getting your teeth drilled at the dentist.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unless You're in Your Teens, Forget It
Review: While this movie has a few high speed scenes and a great sound effects, the movie's week plot is worsened by cheesy "I'm gonna kick your ass," teen talk. A semi-surprising plot twist leaves the viewer hoping for more. In the end, you've got a movie aimed at teen guys who still love cars covered in fancy crome and racing stips. Maybe it's worth a rental on a rainy day, but save your cash if you plan to own it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very exciting; aesthetically pleasing
Review: The Fast and the Furious, in my opinion, is an awesome movie. I have watched it many times. In the beginning, I thought that the dialogue was too simple. I realized though, that it was a street car movie, not a shakespearean drama.

The heart of the movie is Brian O'Spielmer? (Walker) who is an undercover cop. He ingratiates himself with the Dominic, who runs Toretto's, a fast food place. He also races, which gets him cash.

The cars in this movie were awesome. My favorite part was when Brian raced Dom and two others for cash. It was obvious that Brian wanted to show off. Later Dom's girl said he "owns you" to Brian.

I think this is the best movie of its type. I suggest you watch it if you have not. Besides, who wouldn't want to see a car racing, action movie?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than Gone In 60 Seconds
Review: I bought this movie knowing the comparissions between Gone In 60 Seconds but I think that this one is better.

The plot and the action secuences are better by fast.

A good choice.

Summary: "Winning is winning"
Review: Vin Diesel stars in Director Rob Cohen's latest film "The Fast and the Furious" inspired by the article 'Racer X' this high speed-hold on to your Nitrous Oxide Tank-Action flick is not for the faint of heart. The film is set in the streets of LA where multinational groups of muscle car lovers are joined in a series of highly modified car races and meanwhile trying to avoid running into the law which suspects a group in the street racing community is responsible for several crime sprees involving hijacking of trucks carrying imported merchandise.
This movie is guaranteed to have you gripping on the edge of your seat.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice Cars!
Review: The story was used before, but the cars and the racing scenes made up for the movie.
