Shrewdly conceived, confidently executed and outrageously entertaining.

(You) might be charmed by the film's blend of kineticism, car-culture rituals, and hilariously flat-footed dialogue.

Something special about it. It's a formula movie, to be sure, but it's Formula One.

A massive compendium of youth-movie/pedal-to-the-metal cliches. But man, is it fast!

While few of the paper-thin characters register long enough to make much of an impression, Diesel carries the movie.

This testosterone-driven, car-crime picture evokes the testosterone-driven, surf-crime picture "Point Break."

The Fast and the Furious is "Rebel Without a Cause" without a cause. The young and the restless with gas fumes. The quick and the dead with skid marks.

The composition of this movie pulls you in, and the characters and plot keep you for the whole thing. Not one moment in this movie does the acting distract me from the story. That’s not to say that most of the other movies after this are good. However this on its own is a masterpiece in its field.

The Fast and the Furious never pretends to be anything more than it is and the car chases are well shot, but you'll struggle to remember a single thing that happened the moment it's all over.

The plot is similar to the 1991 cult classic Point Break. The backstories are scattered, and filled with over-the-top racing sequences and action scenes. This film feels like a standalone; at the time, they didn’t seem to be thinking about a sequel. The background music fails to make an impact and is often noisy and distracting on many occasions. Some scenes, like hijacking a truck with Honda Civics to steal VHS players, feel illogical and foolish. The investigator's office scenes are boring and annoying due to poor acting and dialogue.
Walker and Diesel give average performances, bouncing off one another but unable to convey a deeper emotional level. Rodriguez is particularly bad with her constant frowning and poor one-liners, while Brewster delivers a decent performance. Overall, an unoriginal undercover plot that focuses more on car racing and an unrelatable underground culture with slutty women.

Well-acted but terribly flawed and noisy. The Fast and The Furious has more enthusiasm on its cheesy teenage exploitation flicks of the 1950s than trying to live up its name.

Sweet Jesus. I found Fast 5 and the sixth one to be entertaining, but the one that started it all? Awful. I watched this movie at my friend's house over Robocop. Man, I wish we changed our minds. The only thing this movie relies on is sexy women and cars to entertain. The acting is lackluster, and the action scenes and races are unacceptably boring. The plot isn't good enough to be a positive, either. Yes, the entire movie was made 13 years ago. However, that isn't a saving grace for me not to call this movie awful. It is. The only reason I wrote this is to say how bad it was.
