Not bad for what it is.

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2002)

Let's face facts. You don't watch a movie like "the Fast and the Furious" for a compelling story or memorable characters. You watch this movie to see cars driving around, really, really fast. So how is it in that department?
Pretty darn cool.
Hot rods, motorcycles, trucks, all look very cool in this movie.
But then, I'm not a car person. I'm an "Okay, you can have some cool action sequences, but they have to involve interesting characters and be part of a larger, more exciting story" person. So, from me, this movie got a four. You may want to add a point there if you just want a big, dumb car chase movie.
