"Fast & Furious" re-teams Vin Diesel and Paul Walker for the first time since 2001's "The Fast and the Furious." A simple world where everything falls into an easy hierarchy is essential, so that the audience can concentrate on what's important: street racing and cheating death in slow motion. Dom (Diesel) is wanted by the feds. Brian (Walker) is a fed. And the story roils with revenge as both men reunite to take down a Mexican crime lord. There's a high-speed race to the border. There are FBI agents, SWAT teams and helicopters. As for the death-cheating, it's still in full throttle. Take the breath-choking opener, for instance, as Dom attempts to hijack the gasoline cargo of a speeding truck. We can practically see oblivion in special-effect relief as a derailed tanker flips and hurtles toward Diesel. The specter looms again when Dom and Brian—in the inevitable street race—screech and career through red lights at busy L.A. intersections. Part of the thrill is our inviolate confidence that these stars aren't going to die. We know they're as safe behind the wheel as we would be playing the video-game version. So long as the filmmakers keep giving us vicarious access to the good, fast, sleek things in life, we don't see this ride running out of fuel for a long time.
