Hot cars, Hot guys equals...

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2002)

a good MTV like film. I really liked the car racing scenes, although there should have been more. Both Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are really hot but the acting wasn't to great, but what can you expect when you are dealing with such bad dialogue with my personal fav being "Smoke 'em". I think the music helped out a lot since the plot was lame.

(SPOILERS): In the last hijacking scene, how could there have not been any other cars on that highway? They could have at least shown a couple of other cars get run off the road. And why didn't Dom race Johnny Tram at race wars? The race wars was built up to be this big event, but then hardly anything happened. We only saw 2 short races there.

And I would have liked to seen a better ending. At least show Paul Walker get led off in handcuffs. I mean, those guys robbed truckers and could have killed people on the road, and the cop just lets them go at the end because we(the audience) are supposed to see the Johnny Tram gang as being the really bad guys. Dom's gang was just as bad, and I can't believe a real cop would just let them get away like that. And another problem I had was if someone wrecks a car going 160 mph, I don't think they could just get out and walk away with a little cut on the head. If they didn't get killed, they at least would have a bunch of broken bones or be knocked unconscious.(END OF SPOILERS)

FINAL VERDICT: The cars, music, and eye candy kept my attention all the way through. It's worth seeing.
