FAST AND FURIOUS (12A)


Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez,
Jordana Brewster, John Ortiz
Directed By: Justin Lin
Released: 2009


Has no one heard of road safety?! The fourth chapter in The Fast of the Furious series sees Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and his nemeses Agent Brian O’Conner (Walker) collaborate over a mutual enemy in dangerous stunts and speeding races that you’d think would kill a man, but the two have different motives. Toretto wants to kill the guy who murdered his love by, wait for it … a car crash (what a surprise) and O’Conner wants to bring the well-known criminal to justice. But will the two get over their ongoing feud in order to catch the baddie and save the day?

There is nothing new or invigorating about the plot and forgetting the fact that the characters are as deep as a coat of paint it is actually worth watching just to see the fast-paced races and of course, Vin Diesel’s muscles. This film is perfect for petrol-heads as we zoom all over Los Angeles and Mexico and there is never a chance to get bored as the action is constantly in full throttle. To sum up, a sure crash for the girls, but win for the guys!
