It Made Me Furious Very Fast.

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2015)

The Fast and the Furious (2001): Dir: Rob Cohen / Cast: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Rick Yune: Stupid action farce that made me furious very fast. Paul Walker plays an undercover cop out to expose illegal drag races. They hijack trucks by surrounding their target and harpooning their way inside. Police fear that the truckers will arm themselves. Walker is unwelcome at a hangout since the waitress shows him more respect. She is sister to star racer Vin Diesel who seems unfazed at the violent commotion. Walker wins Diesel's trust in a crucial moment. Disturbing film where law can be broken pending on who you know on the police force. Director Rob Cohen keeps the action at fast pace. This is a much different film from his previous, which includes Dragonheart and Daylight. Diesel is the so-called hero who will win over the mostly young male audience and get rewarded for his reckless lifestyle. Walker is total cardboard who will eventually be found out yet be the good guy to the bad guys. Jordana Brewster as Diesel's sister is there to sleep with Walker. Michelle Rodriguez also makes a wasted appearance. Smokey and the Bandit is much more entertaining and contains just as much nonsense. The difference is that the characters are more interesting. Film falters when it positions criminals as heroes and poisons young minds with its garbage. Score: 2 / 10
