  The Fast and the Furious (2001 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Walker and Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furious.
The Fast and the Furious is a 2001 action film starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, and directed by Rob Cohen.
The Fast and the Furious is also the movie that is credited with sparking America's youth in souping up and tricking out Japanese imports when originally this was only popular with the actual hardcore street racers who inspired the movie.

 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Suffice it to say, but I was no fan of 2001's `The Fast And The Furious.' While not disturbingly awful in the grander scheme of things, `Furious' was nonetheless a deafening, carelessly made thriller that featured a cast of talent-free, but pretty actors, led by a filmmaker way outside his element (Rob Cohen, `XXX').
Like `Furious,' the mixture is shoddy, favoring noise and idiocy - this film is a nit-pickers wet dream come to life - in hopes that the style and the colors will hypnotize the audience into enjoying themselves.
Walker is such a feeble actor, and `2 Furious' runs him through the silliest material, even asking this white-bred Californian to pass himself off as worldly urban.

In part you may be right, but to its credit, The Fast and the Furious “gets” the fact that the cars are the movie and that the racing is secondary.
Honestly though, The Fast and the Furious is almost funny though that was not its intention.
