Jayne Nelson Radio Times Based on a story by producer - and future B-movie wizard - Roger Corman, this certainly doesn't deserve any awards for its dialogue or acting. Rated: 2/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Uninvolving minor crime drama. Rated: C+ Oct 31, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Elvis D 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 01/01/24 Full Review Mike W I enjoyed the movie, especially the road racing circa 1954. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Nathaniel I liked the movie because there are a lot of speeding cars and drama Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/21 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member good actioner and no relation to the current F & F franchise. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "I guess I should be thankful you haven't killed me yet." "Don't tempt me. A wrongly imprisoned man breaks out of jail and heads for freedom. To execute this master plan he kidnaps a girl and steals her car. This isn't the easiest way to avoid the authorities and they're quickly on his tale. The prisoner will try to convince the girl to get off his case while he heads towards salvation. "I said I was sorry." "You're about the sorriest creature I've ever seen." John Ireland, director of Hannah Lee: An American Primitive, delivers The Fast and the Furious. The storyline for this picture is above average and worth a viewing. I wouldn't say this is a classic or anywhere in the conversation with Faster Pussy Cat, Kill Kill! The action scenes were okay and the film relied heavily on dialogue. The cast delivers fairly average performances and includes John Ireland and Dorothy Malone. "It's good for your figure." "There's nothing wrong with my figure." "I've noticed." I came across this on Netflix and had to give it a viewing based on the title alone as well as due to my love affair with the grindhouse genre. Overall, this movie is just okay and far from a grindhouse classic, but the film is still worth watching unfold. I wouldn't go too out of my way to see this but I'd give it a viewing if you come across it.. "You can't prove your innocence running away." "I can't prove it dead." Grade: B- Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
