My Opinion

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2001)

After seeing this film my initial reaction was one of disappointment. Vin Diesel did another great job as he did in Boiler Room, but the lead Paul Walker reminded me way too much of Steve from the show full house and the voice of Aladdin in the Disney flick and it irritated me throughout the film. The car chase scenes and detail put into making the cars as visually impressive as possible was well carried out but the viewer was left with a gaping hole where a meaningful plot should be. The plot summary read "Undercover cops infiltrate Manhattan street racers to bust a hijacking ring" but this aspect was left in the dust and replaced by Vin's muscles and fast cars. I enjoyed this movie, and after leaving the theater definitely tried to drive in a more exciting manner but I would not call this movie a great or classic of our times. I would give this a 6.5-7 out of 10 stars.
