You want "high concept?" You got it...

Okay.
I admit it.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. I have a habit of entering mass-market pictures with a low, albeit cynical, expectations of what I am about to witness. In doing this, I am often pleased with the end result..."X-Men" being an example of this.
"The Fast And The Furious" is an energetic romp through the adrenaline-saturated world of people who push the envelope. It is essentially "Point Break" meets "The Road Warrior." As ridiculous as this sounds, it was clearly done by someone who cares about the quality of the end result.
All in all, this was one of the better car movies I've seen in quite some time. I have my fingers crossed that the box office response puts Renny Harlin's latest farce, "Driven," to shame.
