Summary: Admit it - you liked the movie.
Review: Sure, it's not going to win any writers immortal fame as brilliant storyline crafters, but, face it, The Fast and the Furious is a decent, nay, *good* movie. It was exactly what it was billed as - a movie about chicks, rice rockets and racing. Whether any red-blooded male could dislike this movie is certainly a question in the first place. The Fast and the Furious has some sweet chase / race scenes, nice cars and hot girls. What male could say it sucked? But, beyond that, it's a fairly decent movie. Unlike many movies, ranging from the action genre, to the horror genre, to the infamous gross-out comic genre, have plots that resemble something thrown up after one too many bowls of Trix in the morning. While it's not exceptional, The Fast and the Furious has a decent, vaguely palatable and even engrossing plot. It's not offensive, at the very least, although the ending is quite lacking. Paul Walker's acting is, admittedly, poor, but Vin Diesel is a very convincing and powerful character, and, in general, the array of supporting actors and actressess do their jobs quite nicely. Overall, an enjoyable viewing.

Summary: What did you expect
Review: Ok. First I want to say this to all you people who complained about the lack of plot, realism and dialogue saying that the movie is aimed at young male "idiots." : You are morons. If you didn't know that that was what the movie would be like going into it by the previews, then you don't even deserve the right to a complaint. Perhaps you don't understand the the purpose of the movie: to see underrepresented import cars drive fast. That's it. That's what I payed for so that's what I got. Sure, there is to much emphasis on "NOS," but really, the movie achieved its goal as a fast-paced thriller involving cars not quite out of reach of the average American working class car enthusiast. I know that I, along with many other young teens, loved to see the faster versions of the cars in our driveways rocketing down a city street at 150+ mph.

Summary: a visually appealing action thriller!!
Review: THe fast and the Furious has gotten many bad reviews. i dont agree with any of them. for what the movie is trying to say, it did the job very well. An undercover cop tries to disrupt a band of hijackings that are done by a suspected group of street racers. i ownt give away the ending, but all of the race scenes are excellent. the portrayal of teh racing scene is accurate, i would know being a part of it. also, the cars are some of the best imports on the scene. i would reccomend this movie to anyone who is looking for a fun ride.

Summary: The Slow and Silly
Review: Wow, Point Break all over again. And the acting is no better!I had hoped for the best for this movie, since I am a car nut and there are few car flicks that can actually be considered good. But, alas, this one falls into the rubbish heap with the rest. The list forms..... What caused the floorboard to blow out in the hideous green car in the big first race? And how did it return for our hero to rescue Baldy from the cops? Hmmm. Each and every street race I've ever seen didn't have 15,000 people attending. For those who haven't actually been a part of one, they are held in dark, nearly abandoned, semi-rural settings with very few spectators or traffic. The pizza guy sequence was ridiculous. Imports running 10-second quarters in full street trim? Not that I've ever seen to date. Maybe on the strip with slicks, gutted interiors, plexiglass windows, and the boost cranked up to stratospheric levels that will make any head gasket tremble in fear. Lastly, we get to the Charger. Why would Baldy want to even consider messing with building a 10-second import when he has a blown, 9-second Detroit classic hiding in the garage? I wouldn't and I won't. The climactic race scene at the end was the most laughable of all. Coming off the light the Charger yanks the wheels a couple feet AND smokes the tires! WOW! In 15 years of drag racing I've never seen this occur! Probably because it's impossible. Either the car hooks and puts daylight under the wheels (and goes) or it blazes the tires into an expensive cloud of rubber smoke. Not both. Pure nonsense. When Hollywood gets around to making a realistic picture about street racing and it's culture, they can give me a call. I'd be glad to provide some technical assistance.

Summary: More Like Fast and the Phony
Review: Hmm.....Point Break revisited, and the acting isn't much better. This could have been a good movie, but it lost it in so many areas. In the initial race, why did the floor mysteriously blow out of the hideous green car? And how did Baldy stay in the car when he was picked up after it blew out? High strung rice running tens in street trim? Sorry, don't believe it. Maybe on the strip with slicks, stripped out and running plexiglass windows. I've been around seriously fast street cars for enough time to know better. The coup de grace was the climactic race scene between the Supra and the slick Charger. The Charger pulls the wheels and then smokes the tires??? Sort of defies the laws of physics and the principle of weight transfer. If the car hooked hard enough to pull the tires (nearly impossible on city pavement, by the way) there's no way those rear tires are spinning. They either smoke or hook, no in between - hard to believe this glaring error even made it out of the cutting room. I was hoping for greatness since there hasn't been a good flick made that really reflects the true street racer spirit. I'm still waiting for someone to make a real street racing movie, and will gladly volunteer to be technical director.

Summary: Bad movie
Review: This is a really bad adaptation of Driven without Sly Stallone. Vin Diesel is a bad actor, and so was the rest of the cast.
I loved Michelle Rodriguez is "GirlFight", but here she was awful.
Don't bother.....

Summary: Pleasing to car racing buffs
Review: You'll like this movie ONLY if you are really into car racing, or if you are a big 007 fan (you know what I'm talking about, fast and furious action and a parade of "hot" women). I'm both, so I really enjoyed this movie -- indeed, I have watched the racing scenes countless times. Otherwise, you'll find the plot very silly, the screen play trashy, and the acting, while commendable, rather unsophisticated. This movie reminds me of the 1990 Hong Kong flick called "Off Road" (a.k.a., Heroes of the Road), starring Jacky Cheung and Loretta Lee. You may want to check it out as well if you enjoyed this one.

Summary: Uhhhhhhhh
Review: The reason i gave it three stars is because it has some cool cars in it. But honestly the acting is close to horrible in this movie. Yet even with the horrible acting the suspense is still there. So I suggest you rent this one before buying it because if you can get past the acting then its an alright movie but if you can't then i guarantee you will hate it.
