Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2002)

This movie had some strange appeal to me when I first saw the advertisments. I'm not a car person really, and I definately prefer a movie with a plot over action sequence after action sequence. But when I went to see this movie I was blown away! It was beautifully done, from the edge of your seat rush of the racing sequence to the excelent plot.
Normally movies like this have no psychology to their characters, and though that wasn't the main focus, this movie did pull off having convincing and entertaining characters. It gave us a look at friendship, and showed us a whole other world not often portrayed in movies! Vin Diesel blew me away, a great talent I hadn't formerly seen.
An excellent piece of cinema!
I gave it a 10 out of 10.
It pulled off exactly what it set out to do. It may not be one of those Oscar winners, but it wasn't meant to be. It was just a fun movie.
