The Fast and the Furious
"Fires on all cylinders!" -Los Angeles Times
They've got the adrenaline rush and the mean machines, but most of all, they've got the extreme need for speed.
On the turbo-charged streets of Los Angeles, every night is a championship race. With nitro-boosted fury, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), rules the road turning all his challengers into dust. He and his rival, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) are the boldest, the baddest and the best. But now, there's new rage on the road. They know he's tough, they know he's fast, but what they don't know is that he's a speed demon detective (Paul Walker) with enough drive and determination to come out the winner.
With intense full-throttle action, awesome high-speed stunts, and full-on pedal to the metal intensity, this fast and furious assault puts you in the driver's seat and dares you to exceed all limits.

OK Movie - sampid
The plot is comic book level; the dialogue is very VERY bad...but who really cares? This is a throwback of those dumb 1970s drive-in movies...it's for people who like loud, fast films filled with mindless action, attractive women, cars...and nothing else. I didn't like the film. It was too loud, too silly and way too long for a dumb action flick. What saves it is some truly incredible action sequences (the "hijacking" sequence towards the end was unbelievable), some very nice, innovative direction, a cast that manages to be good despite the script and a very good performance by Vin Diesel. This was supposed to be Walker's breakthrough film but Diesel steals it away. Also it looks kind of silly to have tall, lean, pretty boy Walker against tall, muscular, severe-looking Diesel.A great action movie! - suntep
It even has a twist here and there! If you like the gear head, wow there is some nice cars in this flick. Some serious noise in this movie! No oscar nominations coming out of this one, but a lot of fun with muscled guys, cars and the girls are hot as well!Fast cars and bad acting - moviemadness
Like gone in 60 seconds, the stars of this movie are the cars. Especially Vin Diesels charger with over 900 hp. The acting in this movie is terrible apart from Vin Diesel, Paul Walker can't act and the normally good Michelle Rodrigues was just bad. This movie is definately for petrol heads and those of the younger generation. I definitely would recommend viewing this movie just for the mindless action and awesome car chases. Another tip don't view the sequel it's painfully terrible and doesn't star Vin Diesel.
