"The Fast and the Furious" DVD
My taste in movies usually leans towards
art-house fare, but I found "The Fast and the Furious" to be highly entertaining.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker star in this action film set in the world of urban
street racing. The police suspect that street racers are responsible for a series
of truck hijackings and assign L.A. cop Brian (Walker) to go undercover and infiltrate
a gang of street racers headed up by Dominic (Diesel). Soon Brian finds himself
in a subculture where people eat, sleep, and breathe transforming ordinary Japanese
cars into high-performance vehicles and drag racing them on the streets. This
is the kind of film where I had to put my sense of reality on hold, but the exciting
action sequences and great shots of customized cars and auto parts helped to draw
me in. But most of all, the characters are fleshed out just enough to make me
care what happens to them. | |
