This is what the international critics are saying about the movie:
"By all the standards by which movies are usually judged, it's pretty dreadful. But it at least has the honesty and charm of a straightforward exploitation movie, and it definitely lives up to its title.
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Start with a basic mixture of souped-up muscle cars and plenty of hot babes (wet T-shirts included), add a huge dose of testosterone, stir in lots of special effects, lather on a bunch of car races, chases and crashes, lay on a pounding soundtrack, and voila: a perfect escapist movie for kids with cash to spend during the long, hot summer vacation."
Paul Clinton, CNN
"There have been countless auto-racing movies, from ''Grand Prix'' to ''Heart Like a Wheel'' to ''Driven'', but ''The Fast and the Furious'' is a movie about California Car Culture. Its characters are young and pretty and hip and anonymous enough to look like
hangers on at a velvet rope party for the movie's premiere, and the story is organised around racial tribal patterns as regimented as anything in an early '60s delinquent fable. The drag races here take place in the desert or along midnight L.A. boulevards, with baby-faced gangland studs speeding for the prize of cash, groupies, and their own manhood."
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"Besides, the cars are the stars. Production Designer Waldemar Kalinowski gives the film a vivid look, almost caressing racers such as the purple 240SX, the yellow Skyline and the red RX7 as they flash past against the softer colours of residential neighbourhoods or in contrast with the darkness of the urban night or the light of the desert day."
