Amazon.co.uk Review
Fast & Furious feels like something of a reunion for the popular franchise. After neither filled out the starring roles in the third film, Tokyo Drift, both Vin Diesel and Paul Walker returned to the franchise for this fourth, and between them managed to power it to become the most successful in the series to date.
With Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster also returning, Fast & Furious goes back to the streets where the series started, as once-rivals Diesel and Walker face, for the first time, a shared enemy. This, of course, is just the necessary groundwork before all concerned can jump into a series of impressive vehicles and drive them really, really quickly. Which, of course, they do.
It’s brilliantly shot, too, with razor-sharp editing, fast pacing and some outstanding camerawork that leaves you feeling at the very heart of the action. There’s not a great script underpinning it all, and a few more action sequences wouldn’t hurt, but the slower moments are ably carried by the returning cast. It’s hard to work out whether Fast & Furious needed Diesel and Walker the most, or whether the actors themselves needed the film, but marrying them all together really does pay dividends.
Naturally enough, there’s scope left behind for a fifth film, which given the major success that Fast & Furious deservedly enjoyed is no threat whatsoever. It might not be anywhere near the most intelligent film you’ll see in your life, but it’s a movie that knows what it wants to do, and has a great deal of fun doing it. More, please… --Jon Foster
DVD Description
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker re-team for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on speed--Fast & Furious. Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller.
When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) re-ignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to out-manoeuvre him. From convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.

Format:Blu-ray
Ever since the first Fast And The Furious, the other two films haven't quite stacked up, for very different reasons. Now this new film, the forth film, has brought the franchise back to life. It has shoved the rubbish that was 2Fast 2Furious out of the way, and has brought the third film (Tokyo Drift) into the trilogy properly.
I went to see this film today, and man, was I entertained. All of the race sequences have been made properly, you feel like you're part of the race, you feel involved. The cars are perfect for the film. Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) has the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, and the new Subaru Impreza WRX. These cars are perfect for Brian's character, and for the film. Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) has a Chevrolet Chevelle SS, and his legendary Dodge Charger through the film. These cars suit the characters, and the film perfectly. Other main cars in the film include a new Shelby Mustang, a Porsche 911 GT3, and an old Ford Gran Torino. Toretto's Charger and Fenix's Gran Torino have a briiliant chase through the tight tunnels near the end of the film.
Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are back, and Han (Sung Kang) who was a key character in Tokyo Drift. The acting is a lot more professional in this film, compared to the others. You can feel and understand the characters thoughts and emotions. I would say this is Vin Diesel's finest moment, he's done himself proud with this film. Also Paul Walker has shown that he is a very very good actor. This film is a lot deeper, and the storyline and the plot is extremely well written. The Director of Tokyo Drift, Justin Lin, is back, and it really shows in the action sequences, and throughout the film. Also the music used in the film is used very well, and fits the feel and vibe of the action brilliantly.
If you felt that the Fast And The Furious franchise was dead, then this will change your mind. Forget that 2Fast 2Furious exists, put this film in it's place, then you'll see the whole franchise in a different light.
I have already bought The Fast And The Furious, and Tokyo Drift on Blu-Ray, and I cannot wait to stick this film in between them on my shelf. I really hope they make another one now. Having a plot that is set in between this film and Tokyo Drift would work very well, but also if they decided to have a plot for after Tokyo Drift, that would work very well too. There are endless possibilites for the franchise now.
A BIG thumbs up, to anyone interested in cars, whether you've seen the other films or not. It's a great watch.

One for the collection this. I am actually a fan of the franchise and have enjoyed what the series has offered. Not so hung up on the third installment but this fourth version has amended for it. Never in the running for any oscar nominations this movie was only going to do what it said on the box and offer up a colourful and entertaining thrills & spills rollercoaster ride.
The return of the original cast was a bonus as we get to see whats been happening since the first movie. From this they've managed some semblence of a plot no matter how thin and cliched it is but what else are you supposed to expect. We're watching F&F for the cars and the action scenes and not much else. For this is where the movie gets it stars in my eyes. Plenty of action as Diesel & Walker rekindle there streetracing rivalry. They keep the pace of the flick moving along which is enough to keep me in my seat and reaching for the popcorn. I enjoyed the movie as an escape, put it on and turn off my brain for about 2hours and watch fast things go fast. Completes the collection as well.

Somebody finally realised that just lavishing gorgeous cars and women at the screen with a paper thin plot wasn't going to cut it any more. Much as the addition of drifting and Lucas Black managed to make Tokyo Drift a more fun experience than the slightly more formulaic 2Fast2Furious, this ups the game by throwing in a revenge plot and a very angry Vin Diesel. If you haven't heard about the twist that steers the story, I won't spoil it for you. However, it works very well as a reason for Vin and Paul Walker to be back in the same vicinity as each other again, this time hunting a drug dealer with a great deal of wrath and steel.
The opening is a great tanker heist which feels original and is shot very well, and there's even a chase with a little free-running and some amusingly improvised combat techniques, which help to bring the series a little more up to date. Walker and Diesel play off each other very well, and the car chases and races rock.
This has great cars, sparky relationship conflicts, and spectacular stunts. It's what the series needed. Lets just hope they don't let the air out of the tyres again for the next one.
