Wall Street Journal
Shrewdly conceived, confidently executed and outrageously entertaining. - 80
Los Angeles Times
The result is an intensely involving entertainment that can be enjoyed by viewers who scarcely know how their own cars work. - 80
Washington Post
Along with the cast's charm, they provide enough fuel for a fun one (movie). - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Something special about it. It's a formula movie, to be sure, but it's Formula One. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
Not a great movie, but it delivers what it promises to deliver, and knows that a chase scene is supposed to be about something more than special effects. - 63
USA Today
High-grade B flick about illegal street racing among gangs in Los Angeles applies the brakes only for the bare minimum of plot injection. - 60
Slate
Fearless as these racers are, it's hard to muster enthusiasm for a movie that plays chicken and then swerves about a mile before the collision. - 50
Portland Oregonian
This is not a movie about actors. It's a movie about racing, chasing, chicks and adrenaline -- just what many theatergoers are dying for in a summer dominated by a sweet ogre and a dumbed-down historical tragedy.
