FAST ACTION.......2007-10-24
"I am an EFF BEE EYE agent!" No, wait, that's a different film.......2007-09-18
Car racing at it's best........2006-02-11
The acting is good for alot of new actors and actresses and it has a good storyline,but the stars of the show are the cars.Brilliant racing scenes and the camera work is fantastic with a few new special camera views thrown in.
All-in-all it's a good film that has a story to it as well as fast cars.
The film that spawned a shed-load of games.......2005-09-20
The basic premise is this:
A few articulated lorries carrying high-value goods have been knocked off by the same gang, driving black honda civic's with green neon lights underneath. The FBI suspect that the culprits are involved in the street-racing scene and have a name in mind.
Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) is chosen to become a street racer and mingle with Dominic Torreto's (Vin Diesel) gang to find out who is behind the hijackings.
Brian begins to discover the true depth and integrity to Dominic's gang, leaving him to question who's side he should be on.
OK, its no Thespian play, the script won't win any awards, but that really isn't the point. Its a banquet of big stunts, petrol and testosterone. Plenty of fast cars and fast driving. One of my favourites.

Amazon.co.uk Review
A guilty pleasure with excess horsepower, The Fast and the Furious efficiently combines time-honoured male fantasies (hot cars, hot women, hot action) into a vacuous plot of crystalline purity. It's trash, but it's fun trash, in which a hotshot Los Angeles cop named Brian (Paul Walker) infiltrates a gang of street racers suspected of fencing stolen goods from hijacked trucks. The gang leader is Dom (Vin Diesel), ex-con and reigning king of the street racers, who lives for those 10 seconds of freedom when his high-performance "rice rocket" (a highly modified Asian import) hurtles toward another quarter-mile victory. Racing is street theatre for a lawless youth subculture, and Dom is a star behind the wheel--charismatic, dangerous and protective toward his sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), who's attracted to Brian as the newest member of Dom's car-crazy team.Director Rob Cohen treats this like Roman tragedy for MTV junkies, pushing every scene to adrenaline-pumping extremes; when his camera isn't caressing a spectrum of nitrous oxide-enhanced dream machines, it's ogling countless slim 'n' sexy race babes. The undercover-cop scenario cheaply borrows the split-loyalty theme perfected in Donnie Brasco; a rival Asian gang adds mystery and menace; and digital trickery is cleverly employed to explore the fuel-injected innards of the day-glo racecars. It's about as substantial as a perfume ad, but just as alluring, and for heavy-metal maniacs of any age, Diesel's super-blown 69 Charger proves that Detroit muscle never goes out of style. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
On the DVD: Appropriately bulging with macho extra features, this disc is introduced with a stirring lack of irony by a Public Service Announcement exhorting viewers not to take proceedings too seriously! The meat of the many special features are found in deconstructions of several special effects sequences, with multiple camera-angle views and a breakdown of the process by which composite shots are achieved from separate plates. There are also eight deleted or extended scenes with optional directorial commentary. The main feature commentary is surprisingly in-depth and absorbing, as Rob Cohen talks about every aspect of his up-to-date "Western with rice rockets". Other features include music videos (one of which has its lyrics censored), a standard 18-minute "making-of" featurette and, fascinatingly, a short five-minute peek at the editing process as the director and film editor strive to cut a violent scene and thereby guarantee that all-important PG-13 rating (so that young kids who can't drive will be able to watch the movie and learn about speed, the director says with a straight face). And with a choice of explosive Dolby 5.1 or DTS you, and your long-suffering neighbours, will feel like you're right in the midst of the action. --Mark Walker

A GOOD FILM !!!!!.......2007-06-03
unoriginal hateful rubbish .......2007-01-09

The Fast And The Furious.......2005-02-09
DVD - The Fast And The Furious.......2004-01-05
The fim opens on Paul Walker testing out his Mitsubishi Eclipse on a race track in the sun. Unfortunatley the test doesn't go too well and Brian's temper is spinning, along with his car.
From then on the film evolves with plot twists and moving revelations. Even though action films are rarely seen at award shows they are still extremeley well made and have some of the best cast and team behind them like "The Fast And The Furious".

Fast and Furious.......2003-08-04
I surely recommend this film to anyone and any age oobviously over 15 years. Have fun watching it!!!!!!!!!!
Try boosting this car film.......2003-08-02
Oh Yes.......2003-07-20
As with the sequel, the first thing which you have to admit is that a plot would have been a terrible thing to waste on this film. There is one, and it isn't quite as thready as you might believe, but I can personally guarantee that you'll hardly notice. The film throbs with high-octane special effects and intensity of emotion from the young cast, incorporating ground-breaking vehicle stunts and an unashamedly glamourised peek into the racing 'sub-culture'. Diesel's type-casting as the muscle pays off, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez give highly adequate performances, and although Paul Walker wrestles with some appalling dialogue to the point of infuriation ('But if I win, I take your money *and* your respect') and compares badly to Diesel's slick deliveries of even the most cringe-inducing line - it must be said that the man can do a good love scene, and an even better punch-up. Testosterone and sweat is rife, and all the sets reflect this atmosphere particularly well.
To anybody with an inkling to a purchase - it is absolutely worth your time, and when you fit that final six foot spoiler to the back of your Fiesta you may begin to realise the sheer power of this film to sweep you away.
Essential for your collection.......2003-06-28
The features are great. Especially the 2F2F prelude and the feature where a car guy and a model spend bucket loads on an Evo 8 from scratch and turn it into an awsome machine. Get This.
