...a decent-enough entry within Cronenbergs hit-and-miss filmography.

Even in a yee-haw drive-in flick about manly men drivin' cars, Cronenberg manages to sneak in some body-consciousness.

Rated: B+

There is nothing particularly memorable about Fast Company, even at the most superficial level.

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.

The movie is a typical action movie. The action and story is good. Some good B-actors are in it.

Very nostalgic of the racing culture and life in the late 70"s. Think is move by David Cronenberg is a jewel that is well worth seeing!

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.

Well-made, but otherwise not particularly remarkable racetrack drama is certainly the most harmless movie David Cronenberg ever made; cast is OK with John Saxon adequately playing the plot's villain.
