Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a FAST night...

I had heard that this was pretty much a low-plot, high-action flick, but I was surprised at how well things flowed together. There were a few disappointments. One, most of the racecars were imports (OK, ONE from Germany) except for the badass muscle car Dom was "afraid of". Two, I'm surprised that the truck hijacks went off so easily; truckers are a pretty independent lot, and I doubt the ones I know would have let those li'l black Hondas stay in front of them. Ever see what happens to a car when steamrolled by a truck? It ain't pretty.
But, the paint jobs, the race scenes, the ladies, and the stunts more than made up for the skinny plot. Definitely a lot of "don't try this stuff at home" stuff too. (Note to you street racers reading this; including a train as an unnamed third opponent in a drag race is a VERY BAD IDEA).

After the movie, as I was cruising home, I caught a sunfire yellow Impreza in the rearview... made me wish I wasn't driving a Lincoln. :)
