The Fast and the Furious
Now that I rewatched this film for the first time after I think 4 or 5 so years I have a lot to say about it. It works better as a Film than I remember it. Yeah it basically is Point Break from a plot perspective. But the execution and Story are there whole different thing. When I remember correctly it wasn't a twist in Point Break that the main <PERSON> is an undercover cop. I remember that the movie actually started establishing our a character as a cop. In The Fast and the Furious the audience doesn't even know that for like the first third.
The next thing that comes to my mind is how brilliant they used cgi back then to show how the engines are heating up.
And now with Fast X in my mind I'm kinda confused why they didn't kept the theme of street gangs, Police and street races going. 796
Or at least in that more grounded way. The modern movies are more super hero action flicks then movies about cars. I mean I still like 'em for that over the top Action and the soap opera storytelling. But wouldn't it be cooler if we would have explored more those gangs instead of going against super soldiers and super agents on the scale of Mission Impossible?
Look it becomes overly absurd when you ask the question: what would happen if you tell someone in 2001 what will happen in Fast X... They will probably laugh at you cause they won't believe that they've actually been to space...
All in all what I want to say: I had a great time with the first movie after all these year. And I honestly would love to go to that Restaurant too with <PERSON>. I mean look at her 22 years later 👀 she still got it 829
