The Fast And The Furious The opening scene to The Fast And The Furious is with a man telling someone on his phone that the lorry has left the compound. And then 4 cars hijack a lorry full of expensive electronics like Televisions,Dvd players, Videos. This film is one of the best films i have seen in a while it is very enjoyable,exciting,addictive i recently watched this film because my friend told me it was meant to be excellent. But as the old ...
...when he told me the name of the film i was judging buy its cover. I was thinking how crap will this be it sounds bunk but trust me its not, anyway i was proven totally wrong this film is the best i have seen for a while they have high speed chases, kitted up cars, and some very funny parts. The best parts to the film i would say is when Bryan is at the races. And Bryan decides to bet his car on the race, because Bryan did not have enough money to ...

Teen flick set in the street racing underworld of fully modded cars, hot chicks, cool guys, and red hot cars! I've been awaiting the release of this movie since I saw the trailers, and I wasn't disappointed when I finally got to watch it :) Especially since Paul Walker is in it phwaor! ------ ~*~ General Story ~*~ Street racing scene in LA.

Brian comes to face where his loyalties lie when he has to choose between his 'boyz' or his job as the cop. I won't go further, but you can guess what happens in the end. ------ The stunts and race scenes were pretty good, although racer mates of mine have pointed out that the foot work is unrealistic ...

...you also have Vin Diesel. The film has great special effects and not that I am a huge car fan but the cars are great too. Dom played by Vin Diesel and his gang all have great cars and at night they like to show them off and race against others, when one night Brian played by Paul Walker wants to race, he does not have the money to, but offers his car if he loses. Brian looks like he is going to win, but at the last minute is beaten by Dom. Brian ...

In the end Brian finds out that it is Dom and his gang that are involved ...

Review of The Fast And The Furious (DVD)

...for a limited audience. At the risk of sounding sexist, this is definitely a film for men – a steady combination of fast cars, loud music, violence and (occasionally) women makes it the most testosterone-filled film I know. It has quite a few flaws – the main one being the pretty dire plot. However, it is not meant to be a thought-provoking film – it is purely a film about a gang of adrenaline junkies who get their kicks from racing each other at ...
...predictably falls in love with the gang leader’s sister and this then leads to him having to chose his priorities – career or street cred. Have a guess which one he chooses? This plot is an excuse to bring in the best car chases and races seen in a film at every opportunity. The film stars up-and-coming action star Vin Diesel as the leader of the gang, and plays the charismatic Dominic Toretto (called Dom in the film). His rival, and the cause of ...

...undercover trying to get into the world of street racing. You have a $80,000 car to help so what’s the first thing you do. That’s right go up against the top street racer using the car as your stake. Then fall for his sister to complicate matters even further. This is fairly low brow stuff with a fairly limited plot line and lots of high-octane car racing action. If that sounds like your sort of thing and your happy to go to the movies ...

To be honest there really if not much more to say about this movie nothing about it was really good but there again nothing sucked. It is what it is so just take it or leave it. The acting is OK, nothing special but nothing really bad either. The cars were magnificent and if you like fast cars and talk of nitrous oxide this will be right up ...

Review of The Fast And The Furious (DVD)

...10 second races. Chased by the FBI because of possible crimes, they seem to be addicted to racing - knowing they are in danger of arrest yet desperate to get a race in b4 the cops get there. The storyline leaves much to be spoken for. However, as I have already said, this is no normal film!!! take it for what it is, not for what other films are. It is interesting playing the kind of guessing game as you watch whereby you try and figure out who the ...
...the MAMMOTH CARS!! they are just so beautiful! 'Gone in 60 seconds', in my opinion, was absolutely brilliant. I held my breath throughout its entire length and gasped at appropriately yummy looking cars. mmmmm...... it too though was let down by a poor story. but that doesnt stop me loving either one. If you didnt like gone in 60 seconds though, this is slightly more plausable so you might enjoy it a tad bit more. Watch out for the ending though, ...

Review of The Fast And The Furious (DVD)

The film is packed with action from the word go with a bit of intrigue, a story line which never really shows up, some truly gripping scenes of cars zooming through desolate streets thrown in for good measure. An undercover cop, a beautiful girl, a tough thug with a heart of gold are all mixed into a concoction, which is a product of Hollywood's pure indulgence. Reels and reels of film are used to show the excitement of dangerous racing and cars ...
...Toretto (Vin Diesal) drives on the streets of LA like he owns it. And as far as his gang is concerned he does. He spends his days putting wrench time into high performance racing cars- make and model matter less than the computer controlled fuel injection that makes them literally fly. At nights however it is complete mayhem and anarchy fuelled by adrenaline and high speed. Dom pilots his own earth bound rocket, pocketing as much as $10,000 a ...

...hadn't read any reviews and the only thing I knew about it was Vin (Pitch Black) Diesel was in it. After watching it, I still don't. It is difficult to describe. It seems to be trying to be lots of different things or at least, it has a variety of elements in it that conflict ever so slightly. Basically it is about fast cars - souped up Honda Civics and Toyota Supras. Trucks are being hijacked of their cargo by three black Hondas driven at rapid ...
...is sent in to infiltrate the gang only he isn't quite sure who is who and what is what. The car scenes are pretty impressive and the film does progress at an equally fast pace (or I thought so anyway). Direction is tinged with weird slow-mo and odd angles but I think this only helps things. The accompanying music is loud and aids the film in its whole feel. This is a 'Charge of the Light Brigade-type of film'. It ain't Oscar material but then it ...

...Paul Hunter is one of the worst actors ever and the story is a bit shallow, (where do they get all their £££ from). Enough of the negatives....... Vin diesel is par excellence, he plays the fearless and dark character "Dom" whose character is based on a legendary street racer. Your girlfriend will love him for his dark, mysterious persona ( and ripped bod.) every young testosterone fuelled male will want to be him. He is the leader and icon of American ...

The Story This is a cool film about a cop trying to infiltrate a gang of street racers suspected of hijacking a series of trucks carrying electrical goods. The cop (Brian O'Conner) played by Paul Walker, is given a Modified Mitsubishi Eclipse to go and join the racers and look part of the gang but loses it in a street race against the man he is out to catch Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). O'Conner then helps Toretto escape the cops and this starts ...
...tries to uncover the truth, which leads him on a few false trails and close calls. After a bad lead, Brian's boss tells him its now or never - he has to find to criminals even if it means blowing his cover. He is given another car, a Toyota Supra in wrecked condition that he builds up whith Toretto's help, which leads to my favourite scene - flooring it outr of a garage sideways and then racing a Ferrari (and winning of course). Next comes the race ...

When this film appeared at the cinemas, not advertised as much as i hoped, i thought that it would be the best film i would see in a long time. I thought this because a) i love cars, b) i find the street racing scene interesting. Much to my amazement i disliked the story, and due to the fact that this is the most important factor in a film i belive john singleton and Neal Moritz have let themselves down. The stroy is about an undercover cop, Brian ...

The problem he faces would be challenging as he allows himself to become emotionally and personally involved in the case of finding bandits who hijack trucks full of tv's etc.. using street racers cars. Brian's first races proves to be his first and only race in the whole film. The cars, some of Japans finest, line up on the grid with Dom (Vin Diesel), an ex-con who rules the current races and Ja Rule, who brings his ...

Starrring :- Paul Walker .... Brian O'Conner Vin Diesel .... Dominic Toretto Michelle Rodriguez .... Letty Jordana Brewster .... Mia Toretto Rick Yune .... Johnny Tran Chad Lindberg .... Jesse Johnny Strong .... Leon Matt Schulze ...
...to what it is about, the storyline.. although i'll hope u will have some idea of it from the title of the movie... street racing is used as a means of establishing power between Brian and Domino ... Vin Diesel aka Dominic Toretto, a street racing gang leader who is suspended of hijacking trucks and stealing over a million dollars worth of electronic equipment illegally, is being investigated by the undercover agent Paul Walker aka Brian O'Conner. ...

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
