of the Fast & the Furious franchise that introduced us to the action couple Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in 2001. After the first movie, Diesel decided to move on and the second movie 2 Fast 2 Furious was made without his involvement. The third, movie named Tokyo Drift was missing both of its original leads.The fourth movie feels like a direct continuation to the first as it reunites Diesel and Walker, the odd pair of a strangely warm-hearted even though tough crimimal Dom Toretto (Diesel) and a cop with a soft spot to fast cars Brian O'Conner (Walker). Also the girls from the first movie are there: Dom's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) and his love Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).
After five years Toretto and O'Conner meet again. This time they end up fighting against a common enemy and have to bury their hatred (if there ever really was any) against each other. Along the way to the punishment a lot of cars are
smashed, and a lot of fast driving is seen, both on the streets of a big city and the empty, sandy Mexican desert.Fast & Furious is not even trying to be a masterpiece but a decent piece of action. Filled with cool guys, sexy girls and fast cars, it must be young boys' wet daydream. Recommended to people who don't want anything too serious but purely entertaining action. Check out especially the gasoline robbery in the very beginning of the movie - and that looks very cool indeed.
