Reviews for Fast & Furious
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.
09/21/09
Lin makes the few set pieces sandwiched between the many flat, talky scenes count as much as they can.
09/13/09
'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.
09/10/09
'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.
08/30/09
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.
08/14/09
General unoriginality contributes to 'The Fast and the Furious' series' own issue as a 'seen one, seen 'em all' series.
08/04/09
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.
07/26/09
A completely disposable action movie.
07/17/09
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!
06/10/09
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

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.
05/01/09
With his sleepy-eyed gaze and biceps that no shirt can contain, Diesel quietly commands the movie.
04/24/09
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
04/24/09
With Diesel anchoring the storyline, and director Lin dazzling us with his car crashing extravaganzas, Fast & Furious will likely unleash another series of sequels.
04/20/09
What is this, the fourth 'Fast and Furious' movie?
04/18/09
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.
04/17/09
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.
04/17/09
The latest film is extremely noisy, features some fine stunt driving, particularly in its opening sequence, but it's dramatically a bit of a dribbler. I'm still trying to figure out the relationship between the opening of the film and the ending.
