Advantages: Great plot, inexpensive Disadvantages: The plot is quite fast moving.
...which i feel is about the average for a dvd nowadays. The special features are all definitely worth watching, and the making of documentary is especially good viewing. The film is one for all to watch, not just car enthusiasts, it has something for everyone. The film helped Vin Diesel's rise to fame landing future roles in movies including The Chronicles of Riddick and The Pacifier. ...

Advantages: A DVD about modding cars, enough said. Disadvantages: .......................no, i'm stuck
Your walking down the street and some fit girls pull up next to you in s modded supra and ask you if you want a ride. How many males do I know that would turn down the offer? er.......let's think.....None.

Advantages: great highspeed driving stunts Disadvantages: predictable
The fast and the furious is a high octane thriller about an undercover cop who goes deep undercover into the exciting world of street racing. Soon after the movie started, I thought to myself 'here is another movie just like Point Break' but as the stunts hotted up and the action got bigger and bigger, I moved towards the edge of my seat and started to enjoy this one. You don't even have to particularly like or be into cars to like this, and the ...

Advantages: Cars & Action Disadvantages: Lack of good acting
So this was the first review I wrote, and did a very bad job with it. So I thought I would re-write it. Me and my sisters wanted to go watch a movie, it was either A.I or Fast and the Furious, I had no idea what either of these movies were about but this sounded more interesting and I wasn’t in the mood to use my brain.
As I learnt later on that day, this movie is about an undercover cop – Brian O’Conner who has to try and get in with a particular ... ...hard to beat and not the kind of guy you want to mess with. As the story evolves Brian gets into the gang, falls in love with Dom’s sister Mia and starts loving this street life as his friendship with Dom evolves. So – Called Actors;
Brian O’Conner – Paul Walker (Timeline, 2Fast2Furious) Calling this guy an actor would be a sin, because his acting is really bad. Okay maybe it’s not that bad but it can get annoying. This role isn’t hard to fulfill ...

Advantages: GR8 FILM, GORGEOUS CAST Disadvantages: PRICE OF DVD
...you it isn't. The film is staged in USA, in a city where street racing is all the rage.There are gangs who race for money. The cars seem to fly, and the money waged on the races is more than any of us earn in a year. Behind the racing there is a job going on where very pricey goods are being stolen by some very risky drivers and no-one has any idea who they are. Enter a undercover cop, who has to make friends with the street gangs in order to find ... ...He becomes close friends with the gangs and the girls!.
This film is full of super-fast cars, The special effects are tremendous, everything looks so real. The actors are great and the storyline is fantastic. There is not one fault with the film, except the price of the dvd. I rented this for my partner and had to buy it for myself i loved it so much, but paying nearly £20 for a dvd is quite expensive!
If you like fast cars and gorgeous men/women ...

Advantages: One for the guys and the girls Disadvantages: Can get a little lost in the story at times
The first of the 3 fast and the furious films.. with amazingly cool suped up cars that would make anyone green with envy. The film is based around illegal street racing but this particular one involves a group of hijackers which target trucks for their cargo of expensive electronic equipment the police have nothing much to go on so send an undercover cop in to try and find out some more intomation and begins to work at a local auto parts company ... ...are behind the thefts and tries to befriend them by getting involved with street races.
As O'Connor gets close to top street racer Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) he starts to make friends within the street racing community and falls for Dominic's younger sister Mia (Jordana Brewster). But Dominic and his friends are amongst the prime suspects and may be the hijackers he is looking for. To make matters worse, the truckers are starting to arm themselves ...

Advantages: Vin Diesel Disadvantages: Makes you jealous
...who isn't?
Many moments in the movie get you feeling hot and flustered, whether it's the presence of the man himself, or the near death experiences of the characters.
My favourite moment in the movie has to be near the beginning when there is a huge car race on the streets. There are many beautiful machines to dribble over.
Not only does this film have a wicked storyline and a great cast, but the soundtrack is fantastic too. It's a perfect movie ...

Advantages: Cars, Cars and more Cars! Disadvantages: Cars, Cars and more Cars!
...this film I had seen the trailors and liked the look of it.
Now, I am interested in cars, modified or not, so it appealed twice as much to me. This film has some great race scenes and the storyline isn't bad either.
Even if you are not interested in cars though, I would still recommend this film. As long as you like action films, you will like this as it has action in abundance. The plot of the movie is about an undercover cop,(Brian o' Connor), ... ...racing to gain the trust of the racers and to find out which of them, if any, are involved in a series of truck hijacks. He finds himself in some sticky situations as well as finding himself hooking up with the ringleaders,'(Vin Diesel), sister,(Jordana Brewster).
Film buffs will not be as impressed I don't think, but if you're like me, and watch a film for what it is, then you will definetly enjoy it. The Dvd also has interviews with the characters ...

Advantages: Great film, Ggreat soundtrack Disadvantages: Got boring in the middle but got better again
WOW!!!
The Fast And The Furious.......if you haven't already see it go go go!!!
A wicked film! I am not usually interested in action films, definately those including car chases. Infact the words car and chases in one sentance is usually enough to put me off completely. But my friends convinced me that it was going to be a good film and so I went along. They were so right! The actors (wow), The special effects (wow) and those cars not to mention ... ...the edge of my seat. How could anybody be bored? It was all about the action, non stop, fast movin, action. The storyline seemed a bit feeble in the middle but it picked itself up again nearer the end. Out of all the films i have seen this year this has to be the best:) ...
