Critics Consensus

Sleek and shiny on the surface, The Fast and the Furious recalls those cheesy teenage exploitation flicks of the 1950s.

This is a bad, bad movie. Skip it.

A gritty and gratifying cheap thrill, Rob Cohen's high-octane hot-car meller is a true rarity these days, a really good exploitationer, the sort of thing that would rule at drive-ins if they still existed.

While few of the paper-thin characters register long enough to make much of an impression, Diesel carries the movie with his unsettling mix of Zen-like tranquillity and barely controlled rage.

On its own bubblegum terms, this accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. It’s just a shame little effort was made to support the auto segments with anything resembling a compelling story.

3.5/5

This could've easily been a empty, forgettable action flick, but... with the filmmakers taking their time to develop a compelling story to go with it, it becomes more well-rounded, giving it more of a sense of purpose.

3.5/5

The Fast and the Furious is poorly written and very different from what the franchise became, but it still sparked a legacy that will endure for decades to come.

Nothing against the movie. The color was off with the picture and the sound was not good at the theater we watched it at.
