| Summary | It’s been eight years since ex-con Dominic Toretto drove across the Mexican border, committing himself to a fugitive existence. Now, holed up in a beach shack in the Dominican Republic, and living on the run with the sole remnant of his past, Lett, he tries to piece together a new life. But he knows the authorities are always just steps behind him. And, when a tragic death of someone he loves brings Brian O’Conner back to L.A., Dom reignites his feud with the agent. As they are forced to confront a shared enemy, a sociopathic drug kingpin who is flooding the U.S. with lethal product, Dom and Brian must give it to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him and avenge the tragedy that he caused their small de facto family to endure.

It offers an attractive getaway route from self-importance, snark, and chatty comedies about male bonding. Here, stick shifts do the talking.

I can count on half a hand the things I found appealing about the middle fifty minutes of this movie, but I'll be damned if I don't want to know what happens next...

It's not called "Fast & Furious: Schindler's List". Perfect reboot if you like the genre. Big crashes, property mayhem, and sparse dialogue.

A film that ultimately feels more like a cobbled together rent-a-car than a sleek Euro-styled crotch magnet

Fast & Furious is the first film since the original to be smart about how far to stretch logic without sacrificing the desired macho swagger and revved-up emotions.

Enough with the brooding and the emoting. What Fast & Furious needs more than anything is some hint that the people involved know how ridiculous it is.

The reunion is fun and frantic, like the original on double nitro.

The awful writing and weak acting keeps the movie from delivering an experience as strong as the original.

Fast & Furious is, in a very bizarre way, a thing of gasp-inducing artistry to watch, even if you're not a member of the NASCAR, gear-head, street-racing crowd.
