THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE! The action scenes were laughable at best. The only thing worth while is all the pimped out guns and ladies, THATS IT! oh and the line "bitches, COME!". The rest of the movie was a waste of my time. Terrible acting, horrible plot, and laughable action. TO TOP IT OFF X the agent is trying to be a rebel agent while he is actually a politcally correct sports star. Drinking SOBE instead of a beer? TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO SMOKE??? OH AND THE BEST, shooting people with a 44 magnum WITH SLEEPY TIME DARTS!!! COME ON X JUST KILL THE POOR BASTARDS WITH THE HOLLOW POINTS, NO HE'D RATHER USE THE HOLLOW POINTS TO SHOOT A STEAM PIPE BEHIND THEM TO "scare" THEM OFF. OH OH AND THE HEAT SEEKING ROCKET!!! LOLOLOL simply a Sony Handicam with a tube attached to it!!! LOLOL man this movie sucked

I cannot believe people like this crap, this is a tradegy, because now movie studios will put more movies like this that are unintelligent, dull, and with poor plots but with lots of explosions and some big sexy bad actor and theyll make millions because people no longer care for intelligent, well done movies. If you guys are seeking an anti-hero type story go see Taxi Driver, Robby D plays the perfect role as the anti-hero, brillant movie, well made. IF you want to see real acting go see road to perditions, 3 actors of top calibler. Not some muscle bound ape with no real dialouge in his movies.

Great movie. The motor cycle stunts were awesome!!!
Best Lines: 1) Bitches Come!! 2) I want all that(pointing at all the armaments and gadgets), in here(referring to his GTO). 3) I told him smoking would kill him someday. 4) The things I'm gonna do for my country. |

I haven't seen the movie, but from the previews and what I've read here, it seems like a typical modern movie. All special effects and action with no story and terrible acting. I think I'll pass.

It was a good action movie, but I found it odd that the BAD GUYS were persuaded to knock off their illegal activities by GOOD GUYS with guns. They forgot to ask the Brady Bunch what would really happen, I guess. The Charger was the REAL highlight of TF&TF. It was worth the rest of the movie to see that Charger run. However, whoever decided a Supra had a chance against a Charger is an idiot. |

I just saw XXX today. Good action... albeit a little too unbelievable..... no real story... and they cheesed it up from time to time when they didn't have to.
Overall, it was worth seeing, and a fun flick, but no awesome thriller for sure. |

It's funny to think that some of the folks that hated this movie, watch WWF and play out SHTF scenarios when they go to the range... You know the type, with 6 knives on one leg, and 3 pistols on the other.
I will add that we saw Vin Diesel being interviewed yesterday morning on MTV, and he stated right off the bat, that it was a fun PG13, high action flik, with lots of neat effects and stunts! |

Some seriously retarded dialogue in that movie, for sure. I read the other day that Fast & Furious was supposed to be a vehicle for the guy who played the Keanu Reeves/undercover cop character. Vin Diesel totally stole the show. |

I think what Raven was saying was that the cop in TF&TF was clone of Keenau Reeves' character in Point Break. It was that actor's chance to show he can play an undercover cop.
Hmmm, a cop going undercover to infiltrate a group of theives that exist in a subculture... Very original. I haven't seen xxx yet, but it does look like a braindead action flick, meant to be loads of fun if you enjoy not thinking for 135 minutes. Movies like that are fun if the actors aren't taking their roles too serious. |

Hehe....apparently it's a crime to go to movies for the sole purpose of not having to think. If I wanted cerebral exercise, I'd do overtime at work trying to exploit the Java 1.4 API....
I was surprised......decent action flick. I also noticed it was missing a few things: 1. An f-bomb every 20 seconds or so 2. Steaming piles of bloody entrails and splatter effects 3. Nubile, bouncing, unclothed breasts. An action film that doesn't use nudity, gore, and extremely foul language....no wonder people hated it. Of course, it's one of the reasons I liked it! |

We [b]never[/b] go to anything other than the matinees... It only costs $4.50, and you basically have the theater to yourselves!
When possible, we try to hit the earlier showing, which is usually around 1:00pm... This way, should we decide to stay and catch another flik, it will still be 1/2 price as well. [;)] |

You are thinking of "Pitch Black" "Near Dark" was a cheesy vampire flick starring Lance Henrikson and Bill Paxton and Adrian Pasdar. I loved it, tons of dark style and angst and inventive ways for vampires to deal with the sun and getting around in the southwest. |

well, I thought the movie ROCKED. Sure, there was some unrealistic stuff. The avalanche was kinda cheesy... But I'm a person who can take a movie at FACE VALUE. It's just ENTERTAINMENT. It was fast paced, had tons of action. The acting wasn't TOP notch, but it was decent. Some funny moments. I'd go see it again. Definitely a will-buy when it comes out on DVD.

Most moviegoers under 35 probubly identify more with Vin Diesel than Robert Denero. Great actor? Not yet, but he did a good job in; Saving Private Ryan, Pitch Black, & Fast and the Furious. |

I thought the movie was great fun and Vin Diesel is the best Anti-Bond ever.
The only thing I didn't like was the missing bare breasts. I hope they are on the DVD. |
