Here's hoping this is the last, but after the huge amount of money it has taken already in the States, don't be surprised to see a 5th.

REVIEWS FOR FAST AND FURIOUS
Isn't worth even the most forgiving action fan's time...
Dec 13, 2009
One of the film's biggest laughs is showing title credits. Clearly, after a prologue in which thieves play chicken with a burning, tumbling oil tanker, the possibility exists this is a Steven Soderbergh experimental gamble. Dumb, fun & entertaining.
Sep 21, 2009
Lin makes the few set pieces sandwiched between the many flat, talky scenes count as much as they can.
Sep 13, 2009
'Fast & Furious?' The stars of this sequel are more like Sluggish & Vaguely Grumpy, though it's nothing a little bit of fiber in their diets couldn't cure.
Sep 10, 2009
'Neat to watch' summarizes the film quite nicely. The revenge subplot that drives Fast and Furious is uninteresting since we haven't seen these characters in eight years.
Aug 30, 2009
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.
Aug 14, 2009
General unoriginality contributes to 'The Fast and the Furious' series' own issue as a 'seen one, seen 'em all' series.
Aug 4, 2009
Fast & Furious could be called Grand Theft Autopilot. Lin knows that his demographic doesn't care about truth. They want to see stuff smash up - and in as outlandish and outrageous a way possible.
Jul 26, 2009
A completely disposable action movie.
Jul 17, 2009
The dialogue resembled bad '80s porn with extreme overacting and cheesy one-liners. Ironically, Fast & Furious is like porn, you want them to shut up and get to the action!
Jun 10, 2009
works as a mindless collection of racing sequences and cool cars, made all the better because of Diesel's extremely likable bad-boy persona and a director who knows how to keep his foot on the gas, action-wise

May 14, 2009
It definitely could have used more humor and, according to the alpha males in my viewing party, more sex appeal...and we're not talking about injectors and camshafts.
May 1, 2009
With his sleepy-eyed gaze and biceps that no shirt can contain, Diesel quietly commands the movie.
Apr 24, 2009
What's amazing about this loud, lazy film (they couldn't even be bothered to give it a title) is that it's still entertaining
Apr 24, 2009
With Diesel anchoring the storyline, and director Lin dazzling us with his car crashing extravaganzas, Fast & Furious will likely unleash another series of sequels.
Apr 20, 2009
What is this, the fourth 'Fast and Furious' movie?
Apr 18, 2009
Furious entertainment for a moment of "populist rage." But it's hard to escape the feeling that Fast & Furious is more than a little...mechanical.
Apr 17, 2009
The ending leaves just enough of a cliffhanger that a fifth installment is all but guaranteed. If it's anything like this one, I'm down for the ride.
