Pleasantly Surprised....

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2001)

Being dragged kicking and screaming into the movie ( I wasn't too keen on going to watch cars drag race for 2 hours) I was plesantly surprised throughout the entire movie. While the performances and the story wasn't riviting, it was fun and entertaining. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker turn in admirable performances, along with the rest of the supporting cast. Set in the underground racing scene in California, The Fast and The Furious picks you up at the begining and never lets up until the end, keeping you involved in the story until the final scene. Many surpries keep you guessing as to the outcome, and the ending is perfect for the movie. Overall, its a bit clique, but very entertaining and an enjoyable ride.
