Critic Reviews

Joe Morgenstern

Shrewdly conceived, confidently executed and outrageously entertaining.

Manohla Dargis

The best cheap thrill to come out of Hollywood in ages -- it's a shot of tonic for the current blockbuster bloat. Read full review

Curt Fields

Along with the cast's charm, they provide enough fuel for a fun one (movie). Read full review

Susan Wloszczyna

High-grade B flick about illegal street racing among gangs in Los Angeles applies the brakes only for the bare minimum of plot injection. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

Strictly where the boys are: posing, posturing, and talking engine envy.

Owen Gleiberman

Works hard to be exciting, but the movie scarcely lives up to its title. It could have used a bit of a fuel injection itself. Read full review

Rita Kempley

The Fast and the Furious is "Rebel Without a Cause" without a cause. The young and the restless with gas fumes. The quick and the dead with skid marks. Read full review

I can't believe how bad the critic reviews are for this movie. I'm no ricer but this movie was great. It had good acting, nice cars, fast racing and good action.

This is one of the greatest movies ever created. If you haven't seen it you don't know what your missing: hot cars, hot women, and some kick ass street racing. I saw it over 20 times, no lie.

"The Fast and the Furious" is not exactly a good movie (maybe because of Vin Diesel, muscle cars, and sexy babes in it) but it's not a bad one either.

Кино выстроено так:

Итог: Даже если не сравнивать фильм с последующими частями, то он скучный. P.S. А если сравнить, то получается очень забавно - тут герои потеют изо всех сил, чтоб накопить на новую тачку, а в 7 части прыгают с самолёта. Просто забавно.… Expand

C’est « tout cela » Fast and Furious et d’ailleurs, ça reste loin d’être si « fast » que ça : de grosses chutes de rythme, une « intrigue » qui tient sur un ticket de métro et qui pourtant n’avance pas, une mise en scène très médiocre et enfin, une étonnante constatation : si a priori le plus con de la bande, c’est Merdagazout, dans les faits, c’est le petit con le plus con, à savoir Paul Walker et sa belle tête de vainqueur !

On note la présence de Michelle Rodriguez qui se la joue mauvaise fille rebelle mais qui fait à peine acte de présence… en fait. Et pour le reste ou les restes de cet étron hollywoodien, pas sûr que même les pigeons y trouvent leur compte : c’est daubé de A à Z et du début à la fin. Pour autant qu’on tienne jusqu’au bout… car même en accéléré, c’est difficile !… Expand
