The Fast and the Fierce

Despite the 1 star reviews given by other reviewers, this film has entertainment value. The acting and CGI isn't terrible, I've certainly seen far worse.

What this film does suffer from is liberalism. Like every recent film (which unfortunately come from the left more often than not), it's used as a propaganda platform with the same repetitive tropes.

Typical of leftist projectionism, every white person who is on screen at any time is of course

• Racist

• Evil

• Greedy

• Corrupt

• Cowardly

• Suffering from anger problems

The middle eastern pilot and the black and gay Asian cabin crew are the only good guys.

And of course the only white person who isn't completely evil is a cafe- dwelling hipster with a laptop. But even he is painted as having a grey moral code and skipping out on his own honeymoon.

If you can look past the inherently-racist socialist propaganda then this is a good film for a lazy afternoon, reminiscent of the aeroplane-emergency type films from the 80s

'The Fast and the Fierce' - seriously? The title is a total misnomer, there's nothing remotely related to the 'Fast & Furious' franchise in this logic defying bomb on a plane ride. Benji (Steffi) is a no-hoper husband to hottie Donna (Davila) whose aboard a flight that's been rigged to explode unless he can obtain a computer code for seductive terrorist (Swain, who isn't bad) after the confident criminal makes him an offer he simply can't refuse (although he doesn't really show any sense of urgency until it's almost too late).

Veteran actor Paul co-stars as the Homeland Security agent trying his best to engineer a safe landing for the hijacked plane, and his character has the best of the banal dialogue on offer, the other actors having to contend with word drivel which they patiently deliver in some absurd situations - the more heavy handed flight attendant basically has the same cliched conversation with multiple passengers at regular intervals, warning them that their behaviour will not be tolerated and that they risk humiliation if they don't return to their seats. Yawn.

You wouldn't bet the house on a slacker like Benji pulling through, although the gravity of his perilous situation starts to sink-in when he discovers he wasn't the hijacker's first choice (although that doesn't really reconcile with the rest of the plot as you'll discover).

Heroes and villains are cleverly disguised and there's a few unexpected twists, but in the end the many ruses & red herrings cease to make sense and this cheap 'Speed' / 'Executive Decision' imitation loses the plot altogether.

This movie is awful. I haven't left any reviews on IMDb yet, but this is worth posting. This is the longest and most pathetic waste of time to watch. Bad acting, the title insinuates that it is somehow related to the fast and furious series; it's not. Poor performance, poor plot. Trust me, save your time, money or any "investment" in watching this.

Definitely a 1 out of 10 as you can't give a big fat zero. All the other reviewers seem to have summed up the film in it's entirety, well except the first review, but as that is from someone who 'stars' in the film then it's not really surprising is it......... Watch it if you want to waste 90 minutes of your life!!

I'll start with the positives since its not the long. The premise of the movie itself wasn't bad and if you look past the plot holes and its nonsense logic. The story itself could have been great. It just wasn't.

Ok, the bad parts were really bad and I was waiting for something of substance or at least a worthwhile payoff. In the end we get out of nowhere "plot twists".

The acting was lazy and terrible in others. Either the actors knew it was that bad and didn't try or not any good. I didn't recognize any of them except one. He was at least decent-ish but given the only campy and ridiculous dialogue I've ever heard. It was similar to good ol' JR if you're an old-school wrestling fan.

There was no motive given nor any kind of exposition of one. The bad and phoned-in acting and the nonsensical plot were too much.

Only watch this movie during a bad movie night.
