Kid stuff for gearheads

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2002)

"The Fast and Furious", adapted from a magazine article, could have been adapted from a comic book. With a simple minded plot, some pretty awful acting by just about everyone (Diesel excepted), and the usual Hollywood excesses pushing the PG-13 envelope, "The Fast..." gets off on high octane street racing. From cool cars to hot babes this flick is made with one goal in mind: to separate the teen male from the price of admission. Not for mature audiences.
