Remains a decent racing film.

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2007)

Even after two sequels, Fast and the Furious kept the racing genre very well alive in the 2000s. The film still retains much of the fast action, well paced storytelling and cheesy, yet clever, one-liners. As far as thrillers go, it's pretty hard to beat the botched hijacking scene for one and for Vin Diesel himself, still his best movie by far.
Brian seeks out Dominic Torreto. "He likes the tuna," he says, at Toretto's restaurant but Brian lives a double life, and that role is quickly trying to find answers behind several truck hijackings before the truckers take the matters into their own hands.
Furious retains this stylish edge that many films lose over time. I also remain impressed with the total conviction behind Johnny Tran's words by Rick Yune. The movie remains an excellent example towards timing and editing and let's never forget the beauty of the cars and engines themselves. Fast and the Furious is everything you would want from a racing movie.
