Summary: A modern morality play
Review: Law enforcement officers today take their jobs very seriously, making it difficult for an honest crook to earn a living. But this film presents new and refreshing take the undercover cop/suspected felon relationship, boldly echoing the sentiment felt by many a career criminal: Let the bad guy go free once in a while. After countless man-hours and months of tireless investigations, cops seem to have this bizarre need to make an arrest. Can't they ever just give a really smart and resourceful criminal an 'A' for effort and cut him loose on society? Bravo to the filmmakers for sending the strong message to cops everywhere that in today's world, you don't always have to do the "right" thing.

Summary: The DVD is good
Review: Well, the movie wasn't that big of a deal. It was spectacular, and I can see how people into cars really dug the machines and the whole styled up world of "rice-rockets", but as a movie, it was rather lame. The plot is rather easy to figure out (even though the twist got me tricked for a moment), so it's not gonna strain your brain to watch it. The visuals will be nice too, and there are a couple of good special effects. The acting is average though, and the directing didn't make for a landmark piece of movie history either. Paul Walker, the main character especially misses one thing: and that is a character. Vin Diesel on the other hand sparkles. I used to hate him, and never understand what people adored about him, but after watching this flick, I join what one character says in the film: the movie gravitates around him. It reminds me of Schwarzenegger in "Terminator". Michael Biehn is gone, but Schwarzi stayed. Same thing here (I guess, that's why some refer to him, as the new Schwarzi). Walker never had a chance against his presence on the screen. Neither did the others -- they all just fade away. Not to say that they ever would go beyond two dimensions, but some of them do make an effort at least...
The other thing to watch out for, which might raise one's appreciation for the movie is to think of it as following the cowboy-genre traditions. This might help you to understand a couple of motivations and behavioral patterns better. It amde me think quite differently. But all in all, the movie was average. Or maybe I expected something better. All in all, they could have put more close-ups of the exteriors and interiors of the cars in them -- just to give a better taste -- and more action scenes with cars (surprisingly little of that).
However, the DVD is a good job. Pumped full of (good, quality) extras, it is a piece to own. And the director's commentary is also very informative, and helps one understand quite a bit about movie-making in general and the making of this specific movie.
So, if you liked the movie -- get it! If you didn't -- rent it! It's worth checking out!

Summary: Fast pace and Vin Diesel
Review: They go hand in hand don't they. So do you really need to read the review of a movie that has Vin Diesel. Story...[...]...But what Vin Diesel brings to a movie is the next action star hype. This movie is incredibly fast paced. From the opening scence which shows Paul Walker as Brian O' Connor speeding down the road in his suped up street car turned race car. Although it supposedly gives us a line into the underground racing world, it's still a little hard to swallow.But like I said there is action and lot's of it. The DVD is cool because it explains that they actually used some of the underground racing community to fill in as extra's. The Special deleted scenes are pretty good, and it shows several different camera angles for the truck scene at the end, which is pretty intense. I wouldn't buy the DVD if I could go back and change my decision, but it is definatley worth renting and watching if for nothing else than the special effects.

Summary: The Dumb and the Dangerous - Point Break 0...
Review: This flat movie is a non-officially admitted remake of Kathryn Bigelow's "Point Break", with Diesel and Walker (both very bad actors - a rare see in movies) replacing Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. The complex relationship between the gangster and the undercover cop, which existed in "Point Break" has been erased here: everything is just made for showing cars rolling as fast as possible, and many hot girls (Jordana Brewster is OK...), as beautiful as brainless, all walking around in slight clothes, only there for the decoration. Of course the result has not a single slice of interest. "Point Break" was not a masterpiece already, so taking its whole plot and putting it in the racing circle is not very expectable of hope of quality. The dialog is silly, the sound and music are deafening (on purpose, only in order to keep us down on our seats) and the ending is totally ridiculous and unsatisfying - despite all the dangers and insane stunt scenes, nobody dies or gets seriously hurt (except the one who's shot by the truck driver) and the gangster drives away, with the cop as an accomplice. Total nonsense! Fun (maybe) but dumb, and no good. And dangerous - keep the kids away from this! For 'grown-downs' only, and they're plenty of them, especially in America - the film was a great success...

Summary: Stupidity has a new look
Review: If you are looking for a movie that has morals and values, then go get a Disney flick. This film is tasteless, stupid and really really dumb. The plot concerns evil LA gansters who drive cars at 130 gazillion miles per hour to kill innocent people so they can steal DVD players, then they go hold illegal street races and everybody cheats to try and win while avoiding the "Evil" cops. Thats basically the entire plot of the film. Theres also something about a undercover cop, but I dont care. This film is really tasteless and stupid, with no reedemning values whatsoever. This is a film that tells kids that killing innocent people and commiting violent crimes are fun, exciting and ok to do. I cant believe this film did so well during its run in theaters, but I'm forgetting the rules to succed in a teen film
1. Have really fast cars drive around
2. Have scantilly clad women
3. Have shots of the "Good guys" killing innocent people.
and
4. Make it tasteless If a film targeted at teenagers has these rules, then it is virtually garenteed to succed. My favorite sequence is when the "good Guys" (The theives) try to stop a truck so they can steal the 35,660,332nd DVD for thier secret hideout, and when they try, the truck driver fights back, breaking a guys leg, shooting the "good Guys" and destroying thier cars. Hooray for the truck driver! It makes me feel so good that innocent civilians can stop heartless crimminals. Evil and tastelessness have a new name, and that name is "The Fast and the furious" Burn foul Demon, Burn! The good:
Umm.... a truck driver inflicts pain on the main charachters the bad:
Everything and the ugly:
Teaching kids and teens that it is okay to kill people and live a life of crime should be punished.

Summary: What a piece ...movie this is
Review: They shouldn't of called this the Fast and the Furious, it should've been called Point Break 2. Same exact story except it's an under cover cop in street racing cars instead of on a surf board, and it has the same bad acting. I don't know who discovered Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, but they have about as much talent as a rock. They only way I tolerated this movie is because there are so many nice cars in it, that it makes it worth watching, but only once.

Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: This movie is the best one I've seen in a long time, and I watch movies a lot. The sweetest cars are in the movie, the actors/actresses do a very good job and there is a suspeseful plot. Anybody who likes one of the following will love this movie: cars, hot girls, hot guys(says the girls), action, or good actors. The DVD version is even better, there are bonus features. The movie is wicked and the bonus stuff is the only thing that could make it better. I extremely reccomend this movie, and if you dont buy it, at least watch it.
