The Fast and the Furious
June 25, 2001
Starring: Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Rick Yune, Chad Lindberg
Directed: Rob Cohen
The movie shows the life of a street racer and how he or she lives life a quarter-mile at a time. It also follows an undercover cop trying to break up a theft ring run by a group of the racers. One small problem, all the evidence points to a group that he doesn't want to believe could do this and now he has to decide where his loyalties lie.
Rated 'PG-13' for language, violence, and mature content. None of which are excessive. The producer's do stress that the stunt driving depicted in this movie was done by professionals and should not be attempted. Their motto for the movie, "Be smart, drive safe, stay legal." Time between bathroom breaks: 107 minutes.
