Critics Consensus

While Fast and Furious features the requisite action and stunts, the filmmakers have failed to provide a competent story or compelling characters.

New Model. Original Parts. Yes, it's about as cheesy as you can imagine but in a way it's true 15 years later and I'm so happy this got back to basics It took 7 years but Universal Pictures and director Justin Lin brought the original cast from the late Paul Walker to Jordana Brewster to Michelle Rodriguez to Vin Diesel himself from 2001's sleeper hit 'The Fast & the Furious' Thank god this was the actual sequel to the first movie; I honestly didn't care for parts 2 and 3, one felt like a nascar commercial and the other was just so empty and forgettable Here we pick up a few years after the events of the original; Dominic Toretto and Letty Ortiz are in the Dominican Republic performing heists on gasoline trucks for money to give to the poor Brian O' Connor is an FBI officer in Los Angeles going after Braga who's in charge of one of biggest drug cartels in Mexico Sadly Dom learns that Letty has been murdered and he tracks down clues wondering if Braga will bring him the answers he needs for revenge Brian is torn between his duties as an agent and his once former ally with Dominic still on the run from the authorities, he's also still in love with Mia who's unsure if he's changed since Brian tore her family apart It's like the filmmakers watched the first movie again and said to themselves what if we do it again and make it more badass? Of course there are minor complaints here from the dialogue being not so good to plot holes popping up, and the plot itself is about as dumb as you can imagine I was so upset that Letty died at the time when this was released But there's more fun to be had outweighing many of the negatives The real stars of this are the car scenes especially the mine chase, that really must've been hard to film given the logistics They've also added computer technology inside these vehicles for navigation which is almost God like tech The action scenes are brilliantly shot and exciting Plus this would be the first introduction of new characters like Giselle as well as my first introduction to actress Gal Gadot who would be a franchise regular This also has one of the most exciting cliffhangers leading to 'Fast Five' as one of the series highlights This even touches upon the relevant points on gas being a hot commodity when it came out being that gas prices were pretty high, plus real life drug kingpins inspired the films villain being from Mexico scaring tourists Yes not everything makes sense but that doesn't matter because this 4th installment in the long-running franchise is still such fun to watch bringing back what made these movies work in the first place

I am not really interested in cars, but this is a delightfully cheesy movie.

It's fast-paced and fun, but just like its predecessors, "Fast & Furious" holds little to no emotional value.

It takes so long continuing from the 1st film and some scenes feel downright boring.

I never find a lot to say about this entry but it is undeniably descent, especially with some of the utter trash that is yet to come in this franchise.

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

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.

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.

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...
