    A great film. Fast cars, hot women and loads of action. The story line is solid and the acting is great. You do need to have watched the previous fast and the furious movies to truly understand what is going on though. For any fast and the furious fans this is not a let down but another awesome film.

    Basically if you like mindless action involving cars, movies that have scenes that either make you laugh when they aren't supposed to, hot chicks, or are looking for a decent summer flick to get out of the house for, it's worth it. Just don't expect anything too serious. I like it.

    This movie was amazing. This is what 2 Fast 2 Furious should have been! This is a great follow up to the FIRST movie, forget the other 2 in between. Everything about this movie was good... the cast, acting, story, racing, action, love story... it was even humorous. I haven't seen an "action" movie this good in a LONG time. If you liked the first movie in the series, you most certainly need to see this. Don't write it off because 2 and 3 were not that good, this one makes up for both of those! And girls... watching Paul Walker and Vin Diesel kick butt...it doesn't get any better than that!… Expand

    One thing I'd like to mention is that too many people that aren't fond of this genre of movie will still go to the theater, and come out disappointed. My thinking is, if fast cars, high-speed races and chases, and scantily-clad women aren't your cup of tea, then pick another movie. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, although I am very skeptical about sequels. This one had a number of fresh ideas, which I believe makes it a success.… Expand

    Will leave you at the edge of your seat even throughout the credits! A high octane action/racing/thriller!

    This is the best movie in the Fast and The Furious Series. It is truly edge-of-your-seat action! A must see for car fans, movie fans, or just the average person.

    This movie was intense, it provided a lot of action combined with drama and, what everyone loves, illegal parts and racing. It will surely blow anyone away

    Not bad at all, lots of great cars, girls and action. All the actors come together to make this a very injoyable night at the movies. Once again the critics show how out of touch they are with the rest of us, kind of like politicians.

    Over zealous? No. An amazing piece of art? Most definitely. Fast & Furious picks up not too long after the first film, The fast and the furious( Which I can say is nothing compared to this.) This film brings everybody back together for another high-octane, sweat inducing ride. This film, like the other involves a multitude of different emotion's. Anger, frustration, deception, love and friendship. But the fourth installment of the Fast and the Furious series takes a more dramatic and plot driven approach than the other films. The other films relied on hot women and hot cars to get the job done, this one on the other hand doesn't, it use a more focus on it's plot and story rather than the style and the action( albeit there is ALLOT in this movie.) But the film it self is very well done and well acted too(Paul Walker did much better here than the first two.) Also this installment brings back Justin Lin as the director( He directed Tokyo drift.) this is his second outing, and may I say his finest directing yet, Lin brings his own personal style to the film, he puts a intricate plot and mixes it with heart-stopping action ( unlike Cohen he relies on action, not plot or story) that's why this film has broken the record of it's predecessor's for biggest opening weekend. Fast and furious brings this series to a whole new level, and has gone form a likable action film to an amazing action drama that you won't forget, this movie is just like the title say's, Fast and Furious.… Expand

    i think that this was an excellent movie. it revived the two main protagonist very well and the story i which they are brought together again provides fine action and suspense. the rest of the cast performs well and provides convincing entertainment and i would definitely recommend this movie and i am looking forward to the sequel

    It offers an attractive getaway route from self-importance, snark, and chatty comedies about male bonding. Here, stick shifts do the talking.

    Fast & Furious reconfirms that car-chase movies--good, bad, or mediocre--all assume the future employment of the quaint old fast-forward button.

    I admire the craft involved, but the movie leaves me profoundly indifferent. After three earlier movies in the series, which have been transmuted into video games, why do we need a fourth one? Oh. I just answered my own question.
