        This is ultimately the most forgettable of the Fast films. It's not the worst, it's not even that bad, but the fact is every time I see it there's only a handful of parts I end up remembering from it. Racing through the tunnels is cool, Dom's quest for revenge has power, and the confrontation boiling into brotherhood between him and Brian is interesting. That being said, the actual plot is weirdly convoluted with a villain who's just not that interesting, and there's a surprising amount of down time. I'm not opposed to drama in these movies, but in this case it's just not handled that well and can get a little boring. Bottom line, this was a transition movie. It was meant to bridge the gap between the Fast movies as street racing films to action heist films, and it ultimately accomplishes that. If you're doing a marathon of the films it's narratively important, but it's not one that I feel the need to go back to for any other reason.

        With a few meandering and unproductive features, 'Fast & Furious' takes the series to new grounds. Bringing back familiar faces but finally implementing some much needed emotional depth, the fourth installment was the best of the franchise to that date. Back after a short hiatus are Vin Diesel and Paul Walker playing Dom Toretto and Brian O'Connor respectively. Not that the previous two films were entirely pointless, but Dom and Brian are the heart of the films. Without them, you don't get the same feeling of family and meaningful relationships. 'Fast & Furious' may not feature the high-octane stunts and action that its successors do, but it brought the series back to being about family, and particularly the drama that sometimes goes on between family. O'Connor is miraculously back to being an FBI agent after betraying their trust multiple times in the past, but with this series that type of stuff doesn't matter. Toretto is on the run once again since he went missing following the events of the first film. As ridiculous as it is to see Brian once again after Dom, I feel like it was the one last obstacle these two needed before they gained back each other's trust. Once they do, the film takes off. I love all the tension between Brian, Dom, and Mia, especially knowing where all of them end up. But I also love watching the cast drive insanely fast cars at ridiculous speeds and wreck every bit of them. The fourth film still tries to tell a lame undercover racing/drug/crime story with its villain, but the rest of it is a hell of a ride. The supporting cast includes the likes of Michelle Rodriguez, Gal Gadot, Sung Kang, Jordana Brewster, and John Ortiz. The latter plays the villainous Campos and probably has the most depth and/or personality out of any previous F&F antagonist. Rodriguez is back as Letty, who's death (being a central plotline to the film) is probably the most complicated and convoluted death I've ever seen from any franchise, and I'm still not sure I know exactly what happened. Overall, Fast & Furious progressed the series back to its Toretto vs O'Connor roots, but managed to finally give us the balance of emotion and action that we've wanted. It also happens to be the film that set up what is now more of a heist franchise than it is full of big muscles and muscle cars. +Dom & Brian +Finally balances emotion and action +Supporting cast is written and acted very well -Letty's death & Brian's time with the FBI is still puzzling 8.2/10

        Paul Walker's character gets a job again with the FBI, but now has to get Vin Diesel to help take down a heroin importer. The writer/director team that made Tokyo Drift come back for this one and it's not much better. Luckily this time they have a few actors/characters from the original story to use, not like it helps. Paul Walker just doesn't get that if you suck at acting, you might want to take some lessons. But then again, after every one of these flicks that gets made, he's pointing and laughing at all of us all the way to the bank.

        Fast & Furious exists in the awkward between space of the franchise. After it actually had anything to do with racing to engage the car-fans, but before it got over the top fun to engage the action-fans. The result is thoroughly underwhelming. Better than Tokyo Drift, but still rubbish.
