Vacation. The Fast and the Furious 4

The Fast an the Furious 4 is an awesome movie about illegal street racing and other illegal activities. This is perhaps the best of all of these movies as it focuses on old school muscle cars. These where cars built to go really fast in a straight line. They didn't do too horribly around curves, but they were primarily straight-line cars. This movie uses some of the most popular and rare muscle cars in many of it's scenes. Some parts of the movie weren't actually real and this fact was obvious. The CGI used in this movie is extremely well done and the next best thing to reality. My main problem is that it kills some of the reality of the movie. On a positive note Paul Walker and Vin Diesel did do most of the driving throughout the movie. This is nice because you can get better views of the cars while they are driving.
Paul Walker and Vin Diesel team up again to help accomplish both of their goals. Though Vin both show a good deal of resentment towards Paul the two make an awesome team. Even thought Paul Walkers character is a cop he still does a great deal of illegal acts to help Vin Diesel and take down an elusive, and highly successful drug organization. There was a good deal of actors in this movie and man of them did very nice jobs exhibiting the lives of street racers. They show some characteristics of a life that fast. Overall I really enjoyed this movies intensity and drama. It displays hardcore race scenes of some of the finest cars ever made in American history. By using muscle cars this movie gave me a sense of pride in American ingenuity. It gives a glimpse into our past forms of transportation.
