Review: Fast and Furious

Justin Lin, 2009

The main characters of 2001’s The Fast and the Furious overcome their differences and return to what they know best - driving expensive cars at high speeds, this time in an attempt to infiltrate and topple a heroin importer.

Positive: Better than 2 Fast and Tokyo Drift in terms of this film having a plot with some kind of weight behind it. In the previous two instalments the plot seemed to be little more than an uninspiring vehicle for scenes of car chases.
Negative: A lot of scenes, and the action within them, seemed quite pointless and served only to attempt to provide the (presumably adolescent male) audience with cheap titillation, such as a great deal of women’s backsides completely filling the screen, and groups of girls ‘making out’ with each other. Too much focus on this kind of thing.
