What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

2/5
This is a bad, bad movie. Skip it. Go to Full Review Todd McCarthy Variety 03/12/2008
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. Go to Full Review Reece Pendleton Chicago Reader 03/12/2008
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. Go to Full Review Michael D. Reid Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) 04/30/2024
1.5/5
A noisy, testosterone-charged and utterly nonsensical mess of a movie. Go to Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) 04/30/2024

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. Go to Full Review Alan Jones Radio Times 03/16/2024
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Grew up watching these movies I’ll keep coming back every time See more Kimberly D. 06/23/2021 Loved it even more all these years later. RIP Paul Walker. Such a loss of a beautiful & talented human. See more Erin 06/23/2021 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. See more Josué M @Josue1702 Dec 20 Well, this movie may not be the best piece of art ever... But it's still good to watch, introducing the Fast saga and the iconic duo of Dom Toretto and Brian O'Conner, portrayed by very good actors. Newcomers (specially those who love cars) can enjoy the ride. See more Cfunk D @Cfunk2085 Dec 17 We all know how valuable black market dvd players are. The FBI getting involved in stupid. So dumb these morons didn't know he law enforcement. Dumb plot convenience See more Lucas O @LucasOMovies Dec 11 Rating: 80%. This film was a very fun watch. Very cool cars and the early 2000s had great style. Interesting plot and cool characters. Acting was good for the most part. It's nothing truly spectacular, but its a fun good movie with cool action sequences. I did think that it was not the best choice, having the characters morally questionable, you are never sure which side your on. We gotta go one way or the other. See more Read all reviews
