The Fast and the Furious

Wait, what? There is a heck of a lot left hanging here. Almost feels like they started filming without a finished screen play and then stopped when the pages ran out, threw in a race at the end, and then left it there. The Truck jacking story line had no real resolution. One bad heist and it sort of ended there. The racing thing had only a minor resolution.... ... and then there were no real repercussions for anyone's actions and that is where the movie ends. Only one arc was finished and that is it. And so far, no, three movies in and they never really wrapped anything up.

To be honest, the thin plot doesn't really matter here. This is just a good excuse for some fit people who look great to race souped-up production cars at break-neck speed around Los Angeles. Eye-candy Paul Walker ("Brian") and hardened "Dom" (Vin Diesel) look like they are truly pumped up for their roles and given neither have much by the way of dialogue to remember, they just get on with it. The soundtrack is irritating but the production and stunt work match the high octane pace of the film and I quite enjoyed it.

Point Break with cars! Sure it is a little cheesy but in the best way. Fun cast and fun premise. Diesel, Walker, Rodriguez, and Brewster deliver a great movie. **Once again, Point Break with cars. Do you need more?**
