Summary: It’s been eight years since ex-con Dominic Toretto drove across the Mexican border, committing himself to a fugitive existence. Now, holed up in a beach shack in the Dominican Republic, and living on the run with the sole remnant of his past, Letty, he tries to piece together a new life. But he knows the authorities are always just stepsIt’s been eight years since ex-con Dominic Toretto drove across the Mexican border, committing himself to a fugitive existence. Now, holed up in a beach shack in the Dominican Republic, and living on the run with the sole remnant of his past, Letty, he tries to piece together a new life. But he knows the authorities are always just steps behind him. And, when a tragic death of someone he loves brings Brian O’Conner back to L.A., Dom reignites his feud with the agent. As they are forced to confront a shared enemy, a sociopathic drug kingpin who is flooding the U.S. with lethal product, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him and avenge the tragedy that he caused their small de facto family to endure.

Critic Reviews

Lisa Schwarzbaum

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

Desson Thomson

The reunion is fun and frantic, like the original on double nitro. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Jeremy Wheeler

No matter what, it's safe to say that this entirely acceptable retooling of the franchise makes for a satisfying experience for those who enjoy four-wheeled chases, hot bodies, hot cars, and a tall dose of tough-guy machismo. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The drag-racing saga "The Fast and the Furious" (2001) made stars of Vin Diesel, who promptly ditched the series, and Paul Walker, who bailed after "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003). Both actors return for this fourth installment. Read full review

Nathan Lee

Inoffensive if uninspired. Read full review

Roger Ebert

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. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

A series that's provided a successful, moderately enjoyable ride up to now blows its tires, gasket and transmission on its way to flaming out in Fast & Furious. Read full review

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.

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

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 enjoyable but not great and if it wasn't for the ending race scene and the familiar characters, I might not have bothered to see it. None of these movies compare to the first two.

"Just like old times." What can I say it's a movie ok, that I really liked enough: D. Anyway, all the Fast and Furious series is good, really can not deny that.

Features fast-paced action but manages to be disloyal to the fans who loved the series for its cars (me), the 4th entry in this franchise wreaks of predictability and transparency, and makes for one of the most painfully brainless and mediocre films this year.

Since we can't give negative scores this was the only logical score i could give. The worst acting ever seen, the worst story ever. Every event turn out to be less logical than a man marruing a jellyfish. All the answer came out from nowhere. Why do Brian knew who was the culprit Since we can't give negative scores this was the only logical score i could give. The worst acting ever seen, the worst story ever. Every event turn out to be less logical than a man marruing a jellyfish. All the answer came out from nowhere. Why do Brian knew who was the culprit without anyone telling him about it?. In the church (the most ridiculous scene in the movie); Why do Brian hang a pistol when the other one was using a shootgun?. Please god, I BEG YOU, Don't ever let another F&F film be made ever again.… Expand
