Movie review - "Fast and the Furious" (2001) ***1/2

 I saw this after number seven... a different sort of film... very influence by Point Break but extremely effective. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are extremely well cast, the story is simple but effective, decent complications (eg fall in love with sister), Jordana Brewster is sweet, Michelle Rodriguez is X factor, the action is colourful.

It doesn't quite crack the finale - the baddies feel tacked on as if they figured truckers defending themselves were kind of entitled. A very solid, decent movie which I enjoyed more than I thought I would.
