It has it's moments of genuine thrills but it strongly relies on it's flashy vehicles and has a heavily uninspired, flimsy plot with very few action sequences that ultimately lets it break down. It's absolutely harmless fluff that's nothing memorable but will surely entertain tho... read more
I wouldn't say the car racing was awesome because it wasn't that amazing to me. Yes it's entertaining but it also lacked something. Good movie for people who loves car.
The Fast and the Furious is a mildly entertaining decent action film about car racing. The film definitely lacks anything good, so if you watch this, don't expect anything good, intelligent, and thoughtful. I felt that that The Fast and the Furious followed the same trend as Poin... read more
Descent plot, descent acting, GREAT cars...... make a pretty great movie. Ten years later, it's still just as fresh as ever.

When this first came out I was blown away. I thought this was one of the best movies on 2001. Now I figured I'd go back and rewatch the movies up to the new one. So after 10 years(really?)does it hold up? Yes and no. The story is still decent and the cars are awesome and sti... read more
As far as B-movies go, you can't go wrong with The Fast and the Furious. A very well made action thriller that boasts two things sure to guarantee your enjoyment of it: beautiful people and amazing cars.
The story is a bit silly and runs familiar territory. Some of the race sequ... read more
This movie isnt supposed to have a moral, its supposed to be awesome. Vin Diesel steals the show as the tough guy who leads his band of racers. The plot is okay, but can really be epic at some points. The music rocks. But the true prestige, is the racing scenes, which are so ... read more
This adrenaline flick classifies as one of my favourite films of all time, only because of how great it is put together! It is action packed, never get's boring, has an ensemble cast, the women are gorgeous, the acting is good enough to love the characters and care about what hap... read more
While few of the paper-thin characters register long enough to make much of an impression, Diesel carries the movie with his unsettling mix of Zen-like tranquillity and barely controlled rage. Full Review
Works hard to be exciting, but the movie scarcely lives up to its title. Full Review
Even those who've never heard of 'rice rockets' (Japanese imports souped up with computerized hydraulics and customized engines) might be charmed by the film's blend of kineticism, car-culture rituals... Full Review
May not have much of a brain, but it's definitely got a pulse. Full Review
Diesel, Brewster and Rodriguez have undeniable charisma, while Walker is serviceable in his role. Full Review
Cohen ... at least knows how to keep matters moving and the action sequences exciting. Full Review
The narrative takes a gutless turn and replaces the central (and exciting) conflict with a whole different set of villains. Full Review
It's a formula movie, to be sure, but it's Formula One. Full Review
