Though I admit the title of the film is slightly dumb, I can't really fault much else going on here. Go to Full Review

Fast & Furious is a piece of junk, but at least it is an entertaining and endearing piece of junk. For a franchise I actively dislike, this is the best of the bunch. Go to Full Review

There are only a couple of things to be said about this movie: the cars are fast, the racing is faster and none of it makes the slightest bit of sense. Go to Full Review

For all the overproduction of the speed scenes, most of the vehicular stunts and set pieces are pretty impressive, if really, really stupid; I swear that the race through the mine shaft was lifted right out of a Speed Racer cartoon. Go to Full Review

It is undeniably nice to see the friendship built up again, as that relationship has always been a strength of the franchise. Granted, the film does take itself way too seriously... Go to Full Review

Christian M Nov 16 It left me cold, only the final scenes were actually good See more Oliver J Nov 11 After a six-year pit stop, Fast & Furious reunites Vin Diesel and Paul Walker for a high-octane homecoming that reboots the franchise’s engine — even if it occasionally struggles to stay on the track. Director Justin Lin returns with a darker, grittier tone and an emphasis on revenge, blending street-racing flair with explosive action sequences that signal the series’ shift toward blockbuster territory. Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto brings the muscle and brooding intensity, while Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner feels more grounded and confident in his undercover-cop skin. Their chemistry rekindles the spark that made the 2001 original work, and Michelle Rodriguez’s brief but fiery return adds emotional fuel to the story. The plot — a tale of vengeance, loyalty, and turbo-charged justice — is simple and serviceable, though it sometimes takes itself a bit too seriously. While the street-racing magic is toned down in favor of action spectacle, Lin’s kinetic direction and sleek visuals keep the film racing forward with style. Verdict: Fast & Furious doesn’t fully hit top speed, but it marks an important gear shift for the saga — trading drag races for drama and setting the stage for the franchise’s global dominance.
