What A Great Ride!
18 May 2002
I had so much fun watching this movie that I went back 9 more times! I made sure that I took different friends every time and none of them ever complained either. Three of them were indifferent, but the other six said they honestly got a kick out of it the high energy, special effects, beautiful people and beautiful cars!

I loved TFATF because it never pretended to be anything more than what it turned out to be..... A great action flick with lots of speed and color. No one was pretending this was Shakespeare, but each actor gave his/her performance his/her best shots. Yes, they are "callow youths" and the story was pretty much unbelievable, but hey!! That is why I go to movies. I go to suspend belief and be entertained and amused. When I want to get intellectual and "think", I stay home and read a serious book.

I loved this lightweight piece of fluff. It was great fun and I made sure to buy the DVD when it came out so that I can revisit the color, action and speed whenever I please. God bless Rob Cohen, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and all those beautiful vehicular bullets in The Fast and The Furious!

Multi-Facial (1995)
10/10
Promise of Better Things To Come
18 May 2002
I've watched Multifacial many times, and I am always pleased to still find acting moments that interest or amuse me in the film. Vin Diesel's physicality is arresting, pleasing and fluid. His voice is a marvelous instrument that covers a broad vocal range, while the deeper notes can hypnotize any unwary female.

I've seen him in other films and continue to look for those moments that capture my attention and rivet me to the screen whenever he appears.

Right now Mr. Diesel invests his energy in the world of Action Heros that he admired so much in his childhood. I am hoping he will soon outgrow the genre and return to more serious acting and to the portrayals of complicated characters like Mike in Multifacial, that I feel sure he can accomplish.
