if you like fast cars and fast women like me, then this flick is hot!!

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2001)

The plot is a little cliche...the characters are not the most deep or developed...but who the hell cares! this movie is about fast cars, lots of action, and big bad ass Vin Diesel with some hottie chicks beside him (and Paul Walker for you ladies out there). The story has been done before (think Point Break with drag racing instead of surfing and there you go), but its done well for what it attempts to accomplish: fast and furious fun! No other movie has ever given me such an urge to jump into my car and put the pedal to the medal...unfortunately, I drive nothing like the cars in the movie, so I don't go anywhere when I floor it. But let me tell you, the cars in this movie are smoking! The action is fast paced and explosive, and the story built around it may not be Oscar caliber, but it sure is entertaining. I would see this movie again anytime, even for the rush of the racing scenes alone. But even as a total package, the movie does one thing perfectly that few movies lately have accomplished: keeps me entertained from start to finish.
