not that bad at all

Rating: 7/10 (1 November 2002)

When I saw the trailer of The Fast and The Furious, I thought I never ever want to see such a stupid looking film. When I saw more of Vin Diesel I decided to change my mind and see also this film.
And it wasn't so bad! Of course all that cars'n'girls stuff was a bit too much for a feminist soul, but I really loved the cool girls Letty and Mia! They just had the right attitude :)
The film isn't only about cars'n'girls, it is also about friendship and loyalty and that's very rare in the world of today. And that was something I appreciated a lot. I liked the chemistry between the cop-Brian and the villain-Dominic and the way Brian managed the situation in the end was beautiful.
Despite the bad talk, Vin Diesel made great acting and I also enjoyed Paul Walker's character and his struggle in his conflict mind between the cop-consciousness and friendship.
