Fast & Furious (2009)

June 23, 2015 10:57 AM

Brian O'Conner, now working for the FBI in LA, teams up with Dominic Toretto to bring down a heroin importer by infiltrating his operation.

45 on Metacritic, 28 on Rotten Tomatoes. 1.5 from Roger Ebert, Nathan Lee at NYT calls it "inoffensive if uninspired," while Desson Thompson at WaPo calls it "fun and frantic, like the original on double nitro."

I got into these movies post-Tokyo Drift, and it was one of those fandom/series that I had thought was done. So you can imagine my delight when this actually appeared. The opening sequences introducing Dom and Brian respectively was just so memorable and impressive, and I can't decide which I liked more, the oil tank heist, or the parkour chase (which was staged in a way I enjoyed more than Brick Mansions, which was supposed to be all about parkour)

Mod note: A few comments deleted due to confusion over which F&F movie this is (the fourth).
