Alejandro E 11/17/2024 Of David Cronenberg's basic filmography, this film, about a troubled car racer, is the most expendable. It's not bad at heart, but it doesn't have much to redeem a weekend afternoon. See more 07/27/2024 The movie is a typical action movie. The action and story is good. Some good B-actors are in it. See more David W 09/08/2023 Fast Company is a significant deviation for Cronenberg's filmography, but reading about his reasoning makes it understandable and more enjoyable to watch. It's mostly a conventional action movie. Cronenberg contributes some clever camera work, but aside from that, he mostly delivers a commitment to a solid final product and a love of what the film is portraying. With a lackluster underlying story, I would only watch this again if there were nothing better to choose from. See more jack s 12/11/2021 I checked this out because Cronenberg directed it and I've admired his other work. However, this is completely different from his early horror/sci-fi projects. Instead he presents his gearhead side here and the racing scenes and technical in-car point-of-view shots are the most exciting and entertaining parts of the film. The always reliable Smith and Saxon provide good support here, but the drag racing scenes are the primary show, and overall it's a pretty good one! Loud, unpleasant musical score, however. See more 07/11/2019 Cronenberg continues to disappoint me with his early career. Fast Company is unique from his other films because it doesn’t have any horror elements, but it does feature his signature cast full of awful bland actors. A movie about thrill-seeking drivers who engage in some of the most dangerous car racing that exists, and yet every actor is delivering lines like they are accountants. There’s a logical and coherent story to this film, which is an improvement over the other 2 early Cronenberg films I’ve seen, but it’s not a very exciting story. One of the problems is that this kind of car racing is so fast that it lacks drama. I’m not a fan of NASCAR, but at least there is some build to those races, with changing leaders and other potential for drama. But in a race that literally takes seconds, you can’t build any tension. It’s over before you even have time to care. I found the entire movie to lack thrills just like the races. Perhaps it would work if I had some investment in the characters, but since they are so bland and uninteresting I struggled to care. They try to weave in relationship drama as if we cared about the personal lives of these characters, but that fell flat for me as well. Fast Company isn’t a disastrous film, but it doesn’t have enough of interest happening to make me enjoy watching it or ever recommend it to someone else. See more 01/01/2016 Once again Cronenberg in unusual terrain. Who would have though he would do a drag-racing movie? Even though its pretty clean cut and easy watchable. Some love, some intriguers, some actiong, some violence. It's a little bit of everything, though far from his mutilating abnormality in the film-sense. See more Read all reviews
