The Fast And The Furious (2001)
The Fast And The Furious was a successful movie, but it's unlikely that anyone in 2001 could predict that it would be the starting point for a massively-successful and influential franchise that's beloved the world over, has begrudgingly won critical accolades, and is still going strong after two decades. A teenaged Ryan certainly didn't think so when a high school friend dragged him in to see the first movie in theaters; he was unimpressed and skipped all the sequels despite the fact that all the cool kids started getting on board when the fifth one came out.
At the behest of Sarah, Reel Deep Dive is going to do a series of episodes covering every single installment in this silly, over-the-top series. They are joined on the inaugural installment by Pete and Sylvan. Discussion points include how the first movie hasn't quite figured out what the series' strengths are, the movie's intrusive, dated soundtrack, the strained efforts at characterization, the importance of the outdoor barbecue scene, Vin Diesel's talent for saying ridiculous aphorisms with a straight face, and how The Fast And The Furious compares with Michael Bay's Transformers films.
