Synopsis: Vin Diesel and Paul Walker return to the film franchise that helped to launch each of their respective careers as the Fast and the Furious series winds to a close under the creative eye of Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift director Justin Lin. Fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) is back in Los Angeles to seek out the truth behind a high-profile crime, but his presence in town doesn't sit well with Agent Brian O'Conner (Walker). These two rivals are forced to unite in the cause of fighting a common enemy, however, when convoy heists and precision tunnel crawls lead them out of Los Angeles and into the Mexican desert. Now, in order to take down a formidable opponent with some serious skills behind the wheel, Dom and Brian forge an uncertain partnership while exploring thrilling new frontiers in the fine art of racing. Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, and John Ortiz co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
My Review: This film was action packed from the very first scene. This is why the rating was so high for me on this one. The storyline was alright, but I think that I liked the 3rd one better than this (in terms of story). Vin Diesel however did a good job and I thought he made this film better. I am not a big car fan but the races in this film were very intense and kept your heartbeat up. Of course there were a lot of underdressed women in this film but that is to be expected in such a film I suppose. Overall a good film.
Recommend: This film would be a great date night film if you are looking for something not as romantic but just more fun. It was an exciting film, but probably not one for the kids.
