4/5 Fairly good plot and good action sequences
  by just me
Many people did not like this film but its solid enough in my opinion to interest some. Besides, there are very few original movies this days and I'm not saying this is one but people should not expect that much from studios these days.

4/5 Keeps my ticker going

Never would have figured it but I like Vin Diesel. If you're into racing cars (which I'm not) This should do it for you. Vin is the numero uno street racer and the cops are using an undercover man to bring down a truck hijacking ring. They go through several engine rebuilds and at least a hundred tanks of nitrous oxide to get to the conclusion and prove that crime doesn't pay. Alot of good driving stunts and a lot of action. Not Academy Award material but a good watch.

5/5 A new modern day classic car movie!

When The Fast And The Furious came out street racing had pretty much been underground. Years before this movie people had been modifiying their cars in the "import" style and racing them on the streets. This before the civic was as common to modify as a ford mustang. Seeing a car "tricked" out on the street was still something out of the ordinary and new. At the time there weren't any real car movies going about other than gone in 60 sec's (freaking awsome btw!) and that was about it. When The Fast And The Furious came out it was the first time the public got a chance to look into modern day street racing. At the time I had a Honda civic that I tricked out and use to race around in. I remember when this movie came out it meant that basicly our underground lifestyle/hobby was about to get recognized big time.

The Movie The Fast And The Furious is pretty much like point break only featured around the world of street racing instead of surfing. In this movie you hear car lingo instead of surfing lingo. The characters get their thrill in by racing vs. hitting big waves. The story having obviously not too original is so...so but like all action movies you watch this for the action. If your a car fan you probably can enjoy any good vehicle action seen. TF&TF only has a few racing scenes, but the story revolves around the hobby of modifying and racing cars. That's the reason that most car people can watch and appreciate the film.

This is a loveable movie...in the same way those old cheesy zombie movies are loveable. yeah it's corny, cheasy, inaccurate, but that's what makes it a great zombie movie. The Fast and The Furious had a cheesy plot,corny acting, inaccurate car info, but it was so great to see a movie based on racing.

This really isn't the movie to watch if your the type that nit picks at every minute detail that isn't on par with reality. If you look at cinema that way than no movie will ever please you unless it's a documentary. This is just a good ol' car movie.
