This a fun movie for anyone who enjoys car racing and the import tuner culture. While there is some misinformation and some of the lines are very cheesy, the movie is still fun and by far the best in the F&F series. The HD-DVD version looks stunning and the audio is also excellent. A "guilty pleasure" as some other reviewers have stated and I have to agree.

When I walked out of this movie back in 2001 ,I remeber still trying to catch my breath after the movie was over. Vin Disel (should have been the next big action star) plays Dom a drag racer/mechaninc who is caught up in a stolen goods ring. Paul Walker(well on his way to being the next Rob Lowe) plays Brian an undercover cop sent to inflriate Dom's gang and try to stop them. The film also a subplot where Dom's gang has beef with an Asain crew lead by Rick Yune. Things complicate when Brian falls for Dom's sister played by the very sexy Jordanna Brewster. The film has a great supporing star in Michelle Rodgurez and cameo by Ja Rule. It also has some of the best car chase scenes since Ronin. Just go and enjoy this film.

Like all of the movies in this series, this is light on plot and heavy on driving. I liked it because the car scenes are not CGI. Relax and enjoy it.

Of course this movie was made with one thing in mind...bringing tricked out rides to the big screen and create illegal racing scenes for youth enjoyment. Fast and the Furious does this well, and for most people, that seems to be where the excitement ends. Seeing all three F&F films myself, the original is easily the strongest of the bunch - not so much for its cars and racing, but for overall production. Although it is over-the top fantasy, I enjoyed the story and characters much more than the two sequals.
The story is about a young cop named Brian O Conner (Paul Walker) who goes undercover in the street racing world of L.A. to discover who has been stealing shipments of electronics from big rigs on the highway. All evidence leads to a group within the racing realm, whether it be the whites, asians, or hispanics. Brian eventually works himself in with Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his group of race buddies. The situation becomes complicated for Brian, constantly fighting with one of the guys, caught in the middle of the race gang wars, dating Dom's sister, and being suspected as a cop by Dom himself. Eventually Brian is forced to choose to help his new race pals, or complete his mission by taking Dom in.
The characters were actually pretty good for this type of film. Vin Diesel steals the show with his magnetism and screen presence. Though Brian was played out well by Paul Walker, there was never enough substance to make this main character shine. Dom's buddies, girlfriend and sister were like a family (though crazy at times), but nevertheless kept me entertained for the most part. The other gangs of racers, especially the rival asians, were fairly mencing and added quite a bit to the progression of the plot.
The cars themselves were very nice. There aren't any exotic cars here, except one small scene with a black Ferrari. Most of what you see is typical tricked out rides, but the movie does do the job of letting us see inside the cars and under the hoods quite often at all the details. Dom races Brian in a quick street race at the end of the movie in his pure "Detroit Muscle".
The races are like the title suggests. The movie wastes little time at getting the races going and showing off the rides. There actually wasn't as much street racing as I had hoped for, and the best car action was actually a scene where Dom and the gang are attempting to rob a big rig on the desert highway. The plan backfires, creating a decent climactic scene of suspense and action that keeps things intense and rolling till the movie's end.
There is no doubt you will want The Fast and the Furious for car and race viewing pleasure. Though the story and characters make this feel like a B-movie, I felt it was a very good B-movie, which easily feels more mature and solid than its two sequals.
This particular dvd version also includes a 6 minute short film, picking up with Brian after this movie and setting things up for the next film in Miami. There is no dialouge, just music to accompany the scenes. It is nothing special, but for a little short film, its nice to view at least once to make the connection between this film and 2 Fast 2 Furious.
