| The ToastRoxane GayExudes testosterone, American brawn... amazing car chases and races; it's a gear head's wet dream. |

| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaThe street racing scenes, jam-packed with nubile young women bursting out of their tiny clothes, make beer commercials look realistic. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekLittle more than an old B-movie wreck spruced up and sent speeding onto the screen. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerThe outrageous visual fireworks are so much fun that they give the film a momentum that keeps it hurtling forward. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's a loud, pointless movie, but it performs its loud pointlessness pretty well. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternIn seamlessly interweaving top-notch CGI and incredible stuntwork, Cohen has delivered some of the finest auto-action ever put on screen. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyA gritty and gratifying cheap thrill, Rob Cohen's high-octane hot-car meller is a true rarity these days, a really good exploitationer, the sort of thing that would rule at drive-ins if they still existed. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirLoud, trashy, implausible and exciting, The Fast and the Furious may not have much of a brain, but it's definitely got a pulse. |
| Village VoiceAmy Taubin(You) might be charmed by the film's blend of kineticism, car-culture rituals, and hilariously flat-footed dialogue. |
