Big and dumb.

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2001)

Sort of like Pearl Harbor, I guess, but at an acceptable running time, Fast and the Furious is very loud and hollow at it's core. There are fast cars, one dimensional characters, and loud music. All the hallmarks of a bad summer movie for guys. No one really seems to be having any fun though- they all take it VERY seriously, which (in a trashy summer movie) is always tedious. The girls are tough. The guys are bad. They race and fight, and so what?
