Los Angeles Times | Betsy SharkeyAdd Critic to Favorites

Fast & Furious is, in a very bizarre way, a thing of gasp-inducing artistry to watch, even if you're not a member of the NASCAR, gear-head, street-racing crowd.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Feels about as fresh and lively as a piece of burnt rubber.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

The reunion is fun and frantic, like the original on double nitro.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Keith PhippsAdd Critic to Favorites

The action scenes don't always get the balance between flash and danger right, but the movie remains agreeably dopey--presenting street-racing culture as a hotbed of colorful stereotypes and lipstick lesbianism--until a climax that just isn't there.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie is ridiculous.Read the full review

The New York Times | Nathan LeeAdd Critic to Favorites

Inoffensive if uninspired.Read the full review
