Fast & Furious (2009)

The FF franchise has never been a 'Jedi vs. Sith' affair. It's always been about fast cars & skimpy skirts. It's full of booty-closeups & girls making-out with each other grooving to hiphop music. The movie starts off with Letty's death... Why bring Michelle back only to bump her off in the first scene!! The first car-race was neat, the next underground race (literally) was pathetically fake. There were plenty of dull moments, mainly self-referential, which slowed down the furiosity.

I was surprised Dom didn't kill Letty's killer the first chance he got; I'm surprised that almost half of the movie was shot at night; I'm surprised that the director opted for the tunnels again for the climax chase instead of the lovely Mexican desert. The movie did not have any interesting scenes or moments that stay on.

Favourite scenes include: None at all; but I did smile at the club scene & the family dinner grace.

Alternate Ending:

First Viewed: Alone at home in Doha.

Rating-2
