Movie Review - Fast and The Furious 4



Hey, just couldn't have missed out on this one...I am a FAN of the Fast and furious series so this one was a must watch for me!


So it is really worth it? does it match up with the last three flicks? read on....

Opening sequence
I have not seen a killer opening sequence like this in the series, its just two good...the landscape in which it is shot is looks two awesome and just couldn't stop shouting in the theater!!! what a killer sequence!!

The story -
The movie feels more or less like a sequel to the first one, this one has Letty (Dom's GF) getting killed through a gang of bad boys (braga)...Dom going out for the bad guys and in his pursuit Brian joins along as he needs braga to crack the drugs racket!! A plot that is not too new I would argue...we already see that in a lot of Hindi movies don't we....

but when you are watching a movie like The fast and furious, you hardly care about the story, all of you want to see is Cars RACE .and trust me this doesn't not fall short of expectation...this movie has introduced racing with traffic on...all you have is your GPS and you follow the instructions....The race sequences in the movie are just awesome....I was actually feeling the thrill and was yelling out loud in the theater...

The Fast and Furious series throws light on new types of racing styles with each movie...this one introduced Traffic in races (as Tokyo drift was all about Drifts!!)...

Another highlight are the Tunnel sequences,they are so terrific that it is too good to believe that someone can drive in maddening speeds inside the tunnel....

Performances -
Vin diesel as Dominic Toretto puts up another killer performance, his screen presence is immense and overshadows all the others. Paul Walker as Brian O'Connor also puts up a good performance. Also back is Jordana Brewster as Mia, Dom's sister and Brian's love interest, and Michelle Rodriguez as the tough-as-nails Letty, Dom's girlfriend.

Verdict -
All in all...a movie that does not disappoint at all...being a FAN of the series I expected a lot more out of the and to be honest my trill quotient was fulfilled to an extent...a couple of killer race sequences would have added to the trill nevertheless...

I would give 3.5/5 for the movie...

I would definitely recommend it to be watched....I don't need to mention but to reinstate You MUST watch it in a theater to experience the thrill!!

so fellas go out and enjoy this movie, just incase you haven't done as yet!!
