Adreneline Rush Popcorn flick.

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2002)

Having read the other comments on the Fast and the Furious after watching the film and its making of feature on DvD. I felt I had to add my own comments on the movie. Yes granted its storyline of undercover cop starts liking the world he infiltrates isnt that great. But I didnt put the Fast and the Furious in my DvD player expecting an expertly crafted character piece. I wanted an action movie seeing as this what it seemed to be advertising itself as. If you want a great car chase movie, full of some expertly shot set pieces like the attacks on the trucks, the drag races and the final shot of the charger flipping of the truck then this movie delivers in spades. It easily ranks alongside the classic car movies of all time, granted its no Bullit or the Italian Job. But its just as good as Gone in Sixty Seconds, and for any fan's of the playstation and PS2 Gran Turismo series of games its great to see hollywood recognise the coolness of Asian cars like the Supra, Civic etc. As an action movie it scores 7/10 as aside from some interesting shots it isnt that original if your a complete petrol head or love seat of the pants movies add another point or 2!
