Non-stop action from start to finish. Its fast, loud and out of control. Definitely a ride of a lifetime.rating: A
stars: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster
genre: action
year released: 2001
The movie opens with a high speed truck robbery and it carries the same intensity throughout. It is the story about street racers, specifically a “gang” led by Dominic or Dom (Vin Diesel) who is the best around. Other crews from the area meet at night on the streets of LA to race. This is not the whole story though. An undercover agent, Brian (Paul Walker) gets in with Dom and his crew to investigate the truck robberies. Brian gets close to Dom and his sister, Mia (Jordan Brewster), but his investigation leads him to a conclusion he did not want. The film comes to a conclusion with a multiple high speed scenes that leave the story open for more to come.
I just re-watched the film to brush up for the new one. After many years of waiting, Dom and his crew are back. The new Fast and Furious was just released and I cannot wait to see it. This was one of the first movies that I consider to be on my top five list. I have seen it probably ten times and love it each time just as much. There are outstanding special effects to make the many action scenes even better. It’s a classic movie for current times. The film is perfect for young guys. It has lots of hot women and sweets cars. A Definite adrenaline rush for over an hour.
I love your reviews, Kevin. :) We just purchased The Day the Earth Stood Still. I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to watch it, but it's added to our stack of sci-fi and K. Reeves movies.
ReplyDeleteThis Fast and Furious stuff had me extremely confused when it came out - What's with just removing the "The's" from the title and calling it a new title? I wonder how different it will be from the first one . . .
