This is a movie about street racers... criminals in fact, and there was nothing grimy or dirty about it at all.

Reviews for Fast & Furious
Top CriticThis is more of the same.
04/06/09
Top CriticThe stars look bored out of their minds when the fourth episode of the franchise stalls between racing sequences, which is all too often in a flick where 106 minutes speed by in what feels like at least four hours.
04/03/09
Top CriticPeople who want nothing more out of a movie than an extended rap video -- there's lots of hip-hop, close-ups of cars, and women in shiny tiny shorts -- may be satisfied. But this movie isn't much more than a re-do of the first film in the series.
04/03/09
Top CriticThis franchise is out of gas.
04/03/09
Top CriticThe end result, while it provides moments of kinetic entertainment, is too repetitive and uneven to be satisfying.
04/03/09
Top CriticFast & Furious spends a lot of time advertising how exciting it is, without actually being exciting.
04/03/09
Top CriticAside from the opening sequence, there's nothing imaginative about it, and the actual filming is routine shaky-quick-cut stuff.
04/03/09
Top CriticBy far the weakest entry of the four.
04/03/09
Top CriticBoiled down to its essentials, F&F is four pretty swell auto-race video games encased in the bloated carcass of a script, by Chris Morgan, that must have been researched in the Archive of Movie Cliches.
04/03/09
Top CriticIt's time for these car fiends to slam the heap into 'park.' Diesel should use his ESP powers to find a better gig with a franchise that still has some gas -- such as maybe The Pacifier 2?
04/03/09
Top CriticThis example of presummer pop diversion will be best appreciated by future audiences flabbergasted by its unabashed revelry in fossil-fuel consumption.
04/03/09
Top CriticThe reunion is fun and frantic, like the original on double nitro.
04/03/09
Top CriticA strange piece of nostalgia, where, without apology, fast cars still rule and fuel is burned with abandon.
04/02/09
Top CriticLike Brian and Dom, Fast & Furious would benefit from more female company. And Vin Diesel's mumbling sulk gets to be a drag after a while.
04/02/09
Top CriticFeels about as fresh and lively as a piece of burnt rubber.
04/02/09
Top CriticDirector Justin Lin still hasn't learned film geography. Even the kinetic tunnel races, meant to nitrocharge the movie, fall flat from spatial incoherence. You barely know what's happening, and to whom.
04/02/09
Top CriticEverything that happens here happened in the three previous chapters -- and in Cannonball Run, for that matter.
04/02/09
Top CriticLike a lemon that's been tricked out with a fancy paint job, Fast & Furious won't stand up to much scrutiny under the hood.
04/02/09
Top CriticBy the fourth installment of the franchise, Fast & Furious has shed two articles from its title, regained the four original lead actors, and turned shamelessly into a monotonous unofficial edition of the Grand Theft Auto gaming series.
