Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) enjoys the adrenaline of street car racing and his fans treat him like a rock star. After a blazing encounter with the ruthless Johnny Tran, Dom decides to take Brian (Paul Walker), a newcomer to street racing, under his wing. Dom's sister Mia sees something she likes in Brian, too. Trouble is, neither of them realize he's an undercover cop, and Dominic and his rival Johnny Tran are both the prime suspects in a case involving dirty money and big-rig hijacking.

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.

Todd McCarthy

Variety

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.

Reece Pendleton

Chicago Reader

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.

Michael D. Reid

Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)

A noisy, testosterone-charged and utterly nonsensical mess of a movie.

Rated: 1.5/5

Dan DiNicola

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

The equivalent of a drive-in special audiences savored in the '50s, this is no Rebel Without a Cause, but it will end up being a summer sensation with teens.

Rated: B-

Alan Jones

Radio Times

Cohen's fast-paced, stylish direction pushes the hot and heavy excitement to the maximum, making the breakneck auto races, high-octane hijacks and crash-bang cop chases absolutely electrifying to watch.

Rated: 4/5

The best movie since The Godfather. Cannot be topped. Reminds me of 12 angry men. Just brutally clever, surprisingly endearing, and devastatingly cruel. Love. Must see of the summer.
