a fun ride.

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2009)

while i admit,this isn't the most smartly written movie,it is fun,especially the races and the chase scenes.some of the souped cars are quite something.there's isn't a great deal of acting required here,as the focus is mainly on the cars.i won't get into the plot,as it's just held together by a thread and there are holes everywhere.there isn't much in the way of character development,but Paul Walker and Vin diesel do have some charisma,and Jordan Brewster is easy on the eyes.things move along at a good clip.it's really a fast food movie.you throw it in,it fills you up,it's over.if you just want to be entertained,this may be what you're looking for.if you want something more substantial,look elsewhere.for me,The Fast and the Furious is a 7/10
