Second, there have been three movies along the same lines very recently so what for we need another one so soon? (Maybe just another one for the game developers to transmute it to another game). Besides, the fast-paced special effects and furious action stunts there is not much to talk about Fast & Furious. Am I sounding harsh?

Yes, its again Paul walker and Vin Diesel reunited to make the Fast and Furious Team lead from the front in the multiplexes. The storyline is that Dominic Toretto returns to United States after his six years stint in Dominican Republic. In the US, Toretto is wanted by cops and FBI in charge of murder, smuggling, drugs, homicide and even dating a FBI agent’s sister.

Why did Toretto return to US? The reason is simple if you watch the film. It’s because his only lady love Letty was killed. Toretto was allowed to escape by Brian O’ Conner, a FBI agent. Conner in this film is on a larger mission that is to catch the leader of a notorious drug cartel. Then there is a street race and you need to win that to get into the bottom of the drug cartel.

This is what the framework of the film is. The flesh and skin are shots and scenes of enormous chase sequences, fights, sexy women and fatal explosions. Women make themselves available to Toretto but he is least to be shaken from unfailing love for Letty.
The movie presents a gripping pre-title chase scene that amazed one and all. It was Toretto with his team members chasing a truck loaded with four gasoline tanks. You will be amazed at how the chase continued on narrow mountain roads, in the twists and curves of the lanes.

In the pre-title chase scene Toretto drives his vehicle close to the truck loaded with gasoline, a girl comes out of sun roof of Toretto’s car, standing on the hood and then leaps on the ladder at the back of the tank. She then climbs on the tank, leaps across, goes to the front and uncouples the third gasoline tank, all is done by the girl while Toretto keeps driving which defies all logic and senses if you start wondering how.

But, why to take so much trouble was not explicit and neither was there any need for it. Although the chase scene looked implausible, it can still keep the audience engaging. A full-throttle, charged-up action film, Fast and Furious will help you feel the adrenalin rush in your senses.

It’s only an action film with no fodder for brain. The movie did unfold with a great sequence of action but later went downhill. The film ‘Fast & Furious is rated as PG-13 for action and violence sequencing, some explicit content on sex and language as well as reference of drugs.
