Kept My Motor Running

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2001)

The plot and conflict of "The Fast and The Furious" is nothing we haven't seen before. Halfway through I realised two of the leading characters were looking mighty similar to Steve McQueen and Ali Mac Graw in "The Getaway". But there was no bitch-slapping here. The audience cheered when Michelle Rodriguez "Girlfight" threw her one and only punch, and she held her own even though her part was minimal. This movie kept me entertained, gripping my seat, and saying "wow". In an industry filled with CGI effects, this was an action packed stunt movie, and to me there's no comparison between the two. A great ride. I really have no complaints, zero. I don't think anybody went in looking for Shakespeare, and we all left exhilarated.
