That's something I'd drive
Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: Believability at times
...would have thought that the Fast and Furious series of films would reach a fourth installment? The first one was an entertaining one with some impressive driving supported by a good plot. The second featured a downgraded version, with the third enjoyable but very much run of the mill. So, it may have been time to call it a day. But no, the return of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker to film a fourth film, together for the first time since the first film, ...
...high speed cars and the fast paced plot, but they still need to uphold their end and keep the focus firmly on the plot. They do this perfectly, and with a strong supporting cast including Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, the solidity runs right through.
The special effects must be mentioned. There are plenty of explosions, high speed car chases, and fight scenes, and while not everything is perfect, it is all impressive. The plot wings its ...

Flat and Not Furious
Advantages: Some decent stunt driving.
Disadvantages: Terrible direction, writing and performances.
...when the original movie “The Fast and the Furious” was released and it seemed that Vin Diesel might become Hollywood’s next action hero…But times have changed and Diesel’s career has been going downhill ever since “XXX”. So maybe a franchise reboot might help to rebuild his reputation, right? Hell no! This is a completely unnecessary addition to the series and probably the weakest of the lot (and that’s saying something). “Tokyo Drift” director Justin ...
...coffin. There are oodles of problems with the film, not least a cast so wooden it’s like watching a room set from Ikea. But Lin tries to make a feature of his actors by suggesting they have some kind of inner life, leading to a series of melodramatic exchanges that are laughable rather than enlightening. These undermine any semblance of suspense the film might have had. It’s all the needless macho posturing that really damages it. You won’t care ...

a fast and furious way to waste your money
Advantages: Three films with unbeliavably nice cars in
Disadvantages: The films arnt that great
Although i enjoyed the first two films and didn't love nor hate the third. i feel this release is unnecessary. but the main reason i don't really like it is all down to the third film; The fast and the furious-Tokyo drift. if it didn't have "The fast and the furious" in the title you would have know idea its anything to do with the other two. at least they had the same character in. but this is just a completely different thing alltoghter. i thought ...
...garage like it said in the film. but anyway ill move on.
The fast and the furious-

The Fast and the Freakin' Awesome DVD
Advantages: Great bonus features, great film
Disadvantages: DVD-rom features won't work on all computers :(
...in L.A., 'The Fast and The Furious' tells of an undercover cop (Paul Walker, aka "Brian O'Connor") who is sent in to investigate the thefts of expensive electronic appliances and entertainment systems from hijacked, moving trucks. He sets about getting into the life of Domonic Toretto (Diesel), an infamous street racer, and one of the top suspects in the case. Along the way, O'Connor gets sucked into the gritty underworld of illegal street racing, ...
...(Jordana Brewster).
The films winds through many different locations and keeps the audience on the edge in a whodunnit manner, and shows the torment being inflicted on O'Connor, as he is torn between justice, love, his job, and his friends (not to mention his new found need for speed).
Despite some less than average acting moments from several of the cast, on the whole it is an entertaining and truly exhilerating film. The action scenes are well ...

S.W.A.T
Advantages: Pretty good and principle
Disadvantages: result missed a bit
...members of a Los Angles S.W.A.T. unit (Special Weapons and Tactics). Gamble is a bit headstrong; when he disobeys orders (but saves the hostage) at a bank robbery he puts both of their careers in danger. The very arrogant, Capt. Fuller (Larry Poindexter) wants to demote them for their activity - Gamble quits the force but Street is willing to take his lumps in the off chance that he can rejoin S.W.A.T but he's going to have to shine a lot of boots ...
...5 cops for a new S.W.A.T. team. "Hondo" rounds up the best of the best - 2 guys he has already worked with, Boxer (Brian Van Holt) and T.J. (Josh Charles), the very tough Officer Chris Sanchez (Michelle Rodriguez), the very fast and well-defined Officer Deke Kay (LL Cool J), and yes he picks Street to be on his team too. They experience hard training period where not only the pretend bad guys out are to get them but so is Capt. Fuller. The real test ...
