A great movie for the audience it's made for

Rating: 4/10 (9 February 2002)

For all the car-buffs, and teen guys who like to see shiny Rice-rocket cars zooming under trucks and intense action: forget what the critics have said about this movie. The plot was actually better than i expected. Who went to see this movie and expected a flawless script and good acting? It's a teen movie! When i went to go see it, i was mainly concerned with the action. This movie is great to test your new home theater sound system on. It's a bad movie if you're looking for deep dialogue and characters that you can directly relate to. This is a good ACTION movie. I particularly enjoyed the photography and race sequences that were everything i expected from the previews. Forget about analyzing this movie like Roger Ebert when you see it, and instead just sit back with a couple of friends around the bigscreen and "ooo and ahhh" over the action, throw popcorn at the screen whenever the bad guys come in, and drool over Paul Walker. I gave it a 8 out of 10 just for the rush it gave me. Ignore what everyone has said. See it for yourself and judge. I don't normally like teen movies, but i liked The Fast and the Furious.
