I miss this film when it was out in the cinema but when a buyed the DVD and watched it for the first time I knew I spent my £16.99 well.(t the moment some shops have it at buy one get one free)
Dominic toretto(diesal) is the main man of the LA street racing scene and everyone wants to beat him but cant. The only thing is is that he if funding his pass time by hijacking trucks and steeling electrical items in the trailer. So the LAPD sent in a undercover detective Brian O'Conner(walker) to find out who and how they are doing this because they think its dominic or the japanese racers on the other side of town.
After saving dominic from the police he starts to trust Brian and lets him into the world of street racing.
In the end brian is torn betwwen his loyalty to dominic (because they have become friends by now) and his responsibiltys as a police officer.
With lots of intense action and awesome stunts this film will not dissapoint, its great soundtrackyou might want to buy the ost and their are two of them
The first one called music from the fast and the furious is croos between rock and hip hop with songs by Ja Rule,limp bizkit, faith evans, r kelly and many more
The second one called more fast and the furious is a cross between dance and rock with songs by roni size, bt,machine head, hoobastank, saliva and many more.
This film was one of the sleeper hit of 2001 and made $140m in usa and £6.4m in the uk. If you have seen this movie make sure you see the fast and the furious 2 when it comes out late next year but without Vin Diesal it might not be as good.
If you are a big fan of Vin you can catch him in pitch black 2 and XXX 2 in the next few years. This film manages on a small budget of around $30m to make it look like a $60m production.

Advantages: Getting to see the cars kitted up and in action Disadvantages: Being in a rubbish cinema watching the film, or needing the toilet half way through the film
Advantages: Back to the cruising scene with great cars, great sound systems and great girls. Action packed Disadvantages: It's not as good as Fast and Furious, poor acting, unrealistic story
Advantages: Plenty of action, nice effects, Vin Diesel, no need to think too hard. Disadvantages: Not really any, unless you're expecting something that it's not.
