Movie Review: New SoCal Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
What is it about this movie? So many people dismiss it as just another mindless race movie, when it's so much more. What do I see? As someone born and raised in Southern California, I see a stylized, but faithful, version of where I live: people of different (and mixed) ethnicities, the frictions that develop from diverse cultures and values, the "haves" and the "have-nots" addressing their economic needs in legal, "gray" and illegal ways. And, what is the common denominator that bring all these people together? They (we) all love their (our) cars! The cars are rolling expressions (metaphors?) of who the characters are and, more importantly, who they want to be. You don't get more SoCal than that!
Yes, it was the cars, the racing and the action that initially drew me to F&F. To get all that, plus a clear-eye look at contemporary life in SoCal, elevates this movie to classic status.
Movie Review: High-Speed Genius!

Mammoth piece of film-making. Tremendous! Vin Diesel (buff guy) and Paul Walker (child cop) star in this massive film production. Walker is an undercover cop who investigates an underground street racing circuit. Diesel is the head of the races and he's enormous. Walker races and loses because 'winning is winning'. He also falls in love with Diesel's sister played by Jordana Brewster, yes! Pure adoration! I worship this movie so much I have a golden copy in a case. I pray to the gods that they will make a sequel to this movie as-soon-as-possible. Michelle Rodriguez kicks so much underside! I loved this movie. The final race is breath-taking and kept me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, jumping from coach to coach. I ate so much potato chips because of the intensity! I gained at least 5 pounds! Buy this movie for your country because of the integrity.Movie Review: What did you expect
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok. First I want to say this to all you people who complained about the lack of plot, realism and dialogue saying that the movie is aimed at young male "idiots." : You are morons. If you didn't know that that was what the movie would be like going into it by the previews, then you don't even deserve the right to a complaint. Perhaps you don't understand the the purpose of the movie: to see underrepresented import cars drive fast. That's it. That's what I payed for so that's what I got. Sure, there is to much emphasis on "NOS," but really, the movie achieved its goal as a fast-paced thriller involving cars not quite out of reach of the average American working class car enthusiast. I know that I, along with many other young teens, loved to see the faster versions of the cars in our driveways rocketing down a city street at 150+ mph.Movie Review: It wasn't bad at that....

Ok guys, lets get a few things straight here. This movie was not made to be a philosophical, mind-enhancing, intellectually stimulating orgy of eloquence. It was simply an excuse to do some fancy camera work, with some really good looking cars on screen, and have alot of good sound effects that make your house shake when you pump up the sound system. DO NOT buy this movie for the acting, or for the plot, or for the script. Its one of those movies that you sit and watch for the simple enjoyment of watching a movie that will get your adrenaline pumping. If you don't enjoy random things blowing up, fast cars, and unrealistic street racing(this is far from a simulation((in the opening scene, the guys shifts 7 times))), you won't enjoy this. But "if you want an adrenaline rush, it will be too large." The ultimate guy movie. Enjoy.Movie Review: Super Slick Adrenline Fueled Supercharged Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This Film is fantastic! Right from the start we are led into a fantastic car-chase. ... I have never wanted a honda so badly!! The story is very similar to a certain playstation game. If i were to say the game i would spoil the twist. This film is action through and through. the film has several twists and you begin to doubt who the baddy is. Very well thought out and the visuals are great. These film is intended to keep you on the edge of your seat and it achieves this with bangin tunes, slammed motors and cars so maxed that the family saloon just will not do! Explosions gunfire and tyres screeching really test your sound set up. The Atmosphere at the first race fills your ears and really makes you feel like you are there. All in all this DVD is a sound purchase, and you will watch this one over and over again. top film!
