Maybe it's not a great film, but it's great fun and you can see why, 20 years ago Universal would choose to revisit the title, the crime milieu and the car-craziness.

Rated: 2.5/4

La cinta que sin duda termino dando origen a la saga de acción de Vin Diesel "The Fast And The Furious", esta película narra una historia de crimen y romance empezando con un secuestro que acaba en un romance cliché de la época. Nada del otro mundo y llega a ser algo cursi y tedioso, pero el cómo se va incrementando la relación entre los protagonistas y revelar la injusticia que sufrió uno de ellos al terminar convertido en criminal aumentan un poco el ritmo y hacen de esta película un proyecto curioso para los que gustan del cine antiguo. Mi calificación para esta película es un 8/10.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I wasn't born until a couple decades after this, I'd love to know if these cross country multi-country Speed Racer type races existed back then? This story might have worked with a longer run time, 73 minutes isn't enough to tell the story right. Like, he claims he's running to Mexico because the person who framed him never planned for him to live to stand trial. Why? Why go the trouble of framing him just to kill him, just kill him? It makes more sense that either Frank was lying or entered to race because another race team could be the real killer heading for Mexico. But him kicking ass and driving like Steve McQueen to run like a little pussy is dumb and honestly what could have been at least good with a longer runtime ended as a pile of roadkill stinking up the road.

It's by no means even a very involving film, but it does have decent effects, camera-work and music. It also showcases retro cars along with other things that are different from that time. It's screenplay even gives somewhat of an understanding to where the parts in The Fast and the Furious (2001) came from. However, the rest of writing has shifty character motives and some unimpressive acting. At least it's only an hour or so long; it'll go by quick. For my full review of The Fast and the Furious (1955), check it out on this IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046969/reviews-30
