Movie Details
Fast & Furious, Also known as Fast & Furious 4. This 2009 American action movie was directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is the sequel to The Fast and Furious(2001) and the fourth instalment in the Fast & Furious franchise. Fast & Furious stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, John Ortiz, Gal Gadot, and Laz Alonso. The film features Dominic Toretto, a fugitive, and Brian O’Conner, an FBI agent. They work together to capture a drug lord and assassinate Letty Ortiz, Toretto’s love.
The fourth film was announced in July 2007. Diesel, Walker and Rodriguez returned to the role of Diesel. Brian Tyler, who composed the score for Tokyo Drift, also returned to the stage.
Universal Pictures released Fast & Furious theatrically worldwide on April 3, 2009. It was the first film to use D-BOX motion feedback technology. It received mixed reviews, with praises for the reunion of the original cast and for the action sequences. However, it was criticised for its writing. It grossed over $360 million worldwide, subverting expectations to become the then-highest-grossing film in the franchise and the 17th highest-grossing film of 2009. It also made $70.9 million in worldwide opening weekends, making it the highest-grossing spring weekend opening worldwide until Alice in Wonderland (2010). In April 2011, the sequel, Fast Five, was released.
