Vin Disiel is of course the main attraction actor wise. He does, despite his lacking acting ability, have a natural charisma in a twiddle dee, twiddle dumb kinda way. Paul Walker acts like a dumb ass, much like a Keanu Reeves. And the other actors are just too funny to take note. ALthough Michelle Rodriguez was ultra cool and very sexy.

This movie is not about the actors, it’s about the cars. Its about manhood, my car is bigger, better and more expensive than yours. This is a cult movie if there ever is one. Loud, unintentionally funny, and just plain fun. This movie also has a great number of memorable lines, such as, “Oh Hell Yeah!!!”, Or, “You HAd Me? You NEVER had ME! You NEVER had your CAR!!!” or “Duh, what did you put in the tuna?”

The race scenes were very unrealistic, and the action is very very choreographed, but it was still fun to watch. This is not a movie to take seriously. Hell, it doesn’t even take itself seriously. It is a fun flick that is meant to entertain and say, we’re all about the cars.
