Fast and Furious Review
The tagline of “Fast & Furious” promises “New Model. Original Parts.” Well, yes and no. “Parts” is a remarkably apt way to describe the people of the movie, a crew of affectless hard bodies reunited from the 2001 B-movie sensation “The Fast and the Furious.”
Led by Vin Diesel, an inexpressive chunk of man whose actorly range is largely restricted to the occasional furrowing of a brow, the cast is slotted into a narrative involving revenge against a Mexican drug cartel, outlandish vehicular mayhem, flaunting of custom bodywork (both automotive and anatomical) and settings that encourage people to wear tank tops…read more [The New York Times]
Recession has hit the world of B movies: There’s no longer a budget for definite articles in titles. Fast & Furious, about dirtied-up car racing and badass drivers, arrives eight years after The Fast and the Furious revealed the unlikely charms of the sewer-throated, shovel-headed Vin Diesel. Back then, as Diesel’s Dominic Toretto burned through L.A. streets, we gasped, Who is that walking Popeye, and why does he sound like he’s in a Sylvester Stallone tribute band?

New Fast & Furious International Poster
Thanks to Filmz.ru, we now have a brand new poster for the upcoming fourth installment in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, featuring shots of the main actors.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker re team for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on speed. 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) reignites 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 outmaneuver him. And 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. Fast and Furious hits theaters on April 3rd 2009.
The new movie is directed by Justin Lin, the man behind the third installment, “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” also stars John Ortiz, Laz Alonso, Gal Gadot, Shea Whigham, Tego Calderon and Liza Lapira. It is scheduled to hit theaters on April 3rd.
Fast & Furious International Posters
Brand new UK posters for the upcoming “Fast & Furious” film have been released.
The tagline promises – New model. Original parts. So, back in the fast lane are all the old favourites: Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner – who since the previous installment, has continued to cover his Tommy Hilfiger face with a scowl and stubble in various action and war movies; Vin Diesel - whose return as Dominic Toretto looks mildly perturbed at best – and has been making light of his situation since Tokyo Drift with movies such as The Pacifier and Babylon A.D.; plus the girls - Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto and Michelle Rodriguez as Letty – who just seem glad to be working again.
“Fast & Furious” hitting theaters on April 3, 2009.
