Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) enjoys the adrenaline of street car racing and his fans treat him like a rock star. After a blazing encounter with the ruthless Johnny Tran, Dom decides to take Brian (Paul Walker), a newcomer to street racing, under his wing. Dom's sister Mia sees something she likes in Brian, too. Trouble is, neither of them realize he's an undercover cop, and Dominic and his rival Johnny Tran are both the prime suspects in a case involving dirty money and big-rig hijacking.

Critics Consensus

Sleek and shiny on the surface, The Fast and the Furious recalls those cheesy teenage exploitation flicks of the 1950s.

Common Sense Media

This is a bad, bad movie. Skip it.

Rated: 2/5

Todd McCarthy

Variety

A gritty and gratifying cheap thrill, Rob Cohen's high-octane hot-car meller is a true rarity these days, a really good exploitationer, the sort of thing that would rule at drive-ins if they still existed.

Reece Pendleton

Chicago Reader

While few of the paper-thin characters register long enough to make much of an impression, Diesel carries the movie with his unsettling mix of Zen-like tranquillity and barely controlled rage.

Michael D. Reid

Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)

A noisy, testosterone-charged and utterly nonsensical mess of a movie.

Rated: 1.5/5

Dan DiNicola

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

The equivalent of a drive-in special audiences savored in the '50s, this is no Rebel Without a Cause, but it will end up being a summer sensation with teens.

Rated: B-

Alan Jones

Radio Times

Cohen's fast-paced, stylish direction pushes the hot and heavy excitement to the maximum, making the breakneck auto races, high-octane hijacks and crash-bang cop chases absolutely electrifying to watch.

Rated: 4/5

The best movie since The Godfather. Cannot be topped. Reminds me of 12 angry men. Just brutally clever, surprisingly endearing, and devastatingly cruel. Love. Must see of the summer.

Filme: Velozes e Furiosos 1 Assistido: 09-02-25 Elenco: @velozesfuriososbrasil @fastandfuriousde #fastandfurious #velozesefuriosos @paulwalker @vindiesel @mrodofficial @jordanabrewster @officialmattschuzle @teamjstrong @rickyune @chadlindberg @jarule @actornoelg @mrreggielee @ruuune1 Modelo: #ação #velocidade #policial Duração: 1h 46m Ano: 2001 Minha opinião: Um filme que se tornou uma série que esta indo para o 11º filme, que deve ser lançado em 2026. 1- Velozes e Furiosos (2006), 2- +Velozes + Furiosos (2003), 3- Desafio em Tokyo (2006), 4- Velozes e Furiosos 4 (2009), 5- Operação Rio (2011), 6- Velozes e Furiosos 6 (2013), 7- Velozes e Furiosos 7 (2015), 8- Velozes e Furiosos 8 (2017), Velozes e Furiosos 9 (2021), Velozes e Furiosos X (2023). Uma franquia de sucesso que em 22 anos já arrecadou mais de 7 Bilhões de dólares. Uma série que vemos personagens morrerem e depois ressuscitarem, como? Aqui tudo pode, até cenas que passa para o absurdo do impossível, mas aqui é possível. Tudo começa aqui e os filmes raiz é este 1º e o 3º que são de pega de rua com os carros apostando. E a cada filme eternizando os carros, aqui temos Supra, RX7, 240 SX, Dodge R/T 70. Dom (Diesel) junto com sua família (como ele sempre chamou aqueles que são sua equipe ou quadrilha) participam de rachas e são famosos. Mas tem uma quadrilha de coreanos que disputam com eles. E Brian (Walker) um policial disfarçado entra para equipe de Dom, pois ele esta a procura de ladrões de carga que agem com 3 Civic preto. E o filme com várias cenas de corrida e muita ação. Até que chega ao final Briam descobre que é Dom e sua equipe que roubam. Ele consegue salvar a equipe de serem eliminada e no final a corrida do Charger e Supra. E deixa Dom fugir. E seu relacionamento com Mia (Jordana) vai para água abaixo quando descobre de Briam é policial. Roteiro e enredo simples e já conhecido e boa química. Orçamento US 38 milhões, Arrecadou US 207,3 Milhões Vale apena assistir? Com certeza. E este esta no best 5. Nota: 9 por ser o 1º, sem ela não teríamos esta franquia.

This movie is very nostalgic for me. I was in middle school when it came out and absolutely loved it. Street racing, girls, cars, action, it had everything a 12 year old boy could want in a movie. The acting may not be the greatest and the movie probably didn't win any awards, but for me, it's a classic.
