Fast & Furious starts with a crazy vehicular stunt and a teamwork-driven gas heist, which made me wonder if the cool stuff hadn't started early than Fast Five. But maybe it was just proof of concept for what Justin Lin wanted to do with the franchise, because the bulk of the film is a more somber take on 2 Fast 2 Furious, with Paul Walker reuniting with Vin Diesel in a "buddy cop/crook" plot where the bad guy wants drivers, which allows them to infiltrate his organization easily. But there's little of the humor of that previous flick because it's all about revenge for the death of Diesel's lady (coming out of left field and later undone, this movie is weak on connective tissue) so you can't have too much fun. And yet, none of the principals really sell the grief. Lin's direction is energetic, sure, but there's a lot of repetition in the type of car action shown, and you just spend the movie wishing it'd be more like that opener. And future films would be.
Holy beep. Was I surprised. The best of the series and a pretty great film as well. Some logical weaknesses but overall a great and extremely entertaining film!
Rehashing a lot of plot points from the 2nd film does a lot to make this one harder to get through. The plot gets a bit jumbled at times and the tunnel racing being mostly comprised of pure CGI makes it less exciting. It's a turning point in the series for sure, just a somewhat lackluster one.
Don´t need to see the third one, that looks like a spin-off, let's not apart of the main story.
This one is good, good in the level of the first one, there is a little improvement, the characters are more developed, and the story takes you to place that the series never took you before.
3.75/5

Why Diego Marques keeps posting foolish commentary?CSSCHNEIDER
The opening highway heist is truly fantastic and a fair bit inspired. The rest of the film is garbage. Absolute, complete garbage.DisneyStitch
