Getting nowhere...fast

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2002)

The Fast and the Furious is appropriately named. However, as loud and quick as the movie is it can't outrun the fact that it is entirely void of any real content. Lead by the capable Vin Diesel the cast is unquestionably entertaining, but one has to wonder if they're playing second fiddle to the featured cars. Fortunately for the film makers, the current craze over import vehicles provided them an audience that demanded very little. Is F&F an entertaining movie? Yes. Is it a good movie? NoÂ–it's downright horrendous, but in the end if it makes money everyone's happy, right?
