Fast and Fantastic

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2001)

Imagine, if you will, the perfect action movie - guns, girls, cars, explosions... all the essentials that make us guys ( and, yeah, some of the ladies) love a killer flick. Just the right amount of all of the essential elements combined so precisely that you leave the theatre with a kick of adrenaline just from watching the movie. And above all, none of that cheesy CG crap that ruins perfectly good movies - see: Gone in Sixty Seconds - by making them look like low-grade commercials.
See this movie and you'll understand that the dream of the perfect action movie is closer than you might think - The Fast and the Furious is almost flawless. It's got all the elements of a great action movie: 1)a plot that twists and turns, makings sure to include all the obligatory sex scenes and car chases b)a decent B-grade cast giving decent B-grade performances (we can't ALL be Tom Cruise) c) great action sequences that look almost John Woo-esque in their grace and speed d) hot girls, cool guns, fast cars and (ABOVE ALL) hot girls
Don't look for this to be an Oscar winner - but it's totally worth seeing. The best action film this year.
But please don't try and drive like them.That's how people get dead.
