A rush? Maybe. A great way to spend an afternoon? Definitely.

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2001)

Some people might not enjoy this film, yet I feel that it overall reflects what's going on out there on the streets both today as well as several years back when I used to race the streets of Tacoma, WA. The cars may have changed, but not much else. Street racing has always been and will be, a part of our culture (if not a somewhat darker part) as long as there are automobiles on roads. The acting is "average", although Vin Diesel is beginning to make it very plain that he is coming into his own as he gets more work. -Very cool in Pitch Black by the way. I give the action scenes a high score as they do give the viewer an excellent impression of the speed experienced behind the wheel of these cars. Special effects and stunts are "well toned" and placed where they need to be. By now you might guess that I really enjoyed this flick. I just hope the DVD is a collector's edition with lots of extras, especially with more racing footage! Kudos to Rob Cohen (your best film to date), Vin, and Paul for a very enjoyable afternoon indeed... Now go enjoy the movie. :)
