Fast & Furious (alternatively
known as The Fast and the Furious 4, or Fast & Furious 4) is a 2009
American action film directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is
the fourth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise. It was released
in the United States on April 3, 2009. Fast & Furious follows Dominic
Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Brian
O'Conner (Paul Walker) who are forced to work together to avenge the murder of
Toretto's lover Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) and apprehend drug lord Arturo
Braga (John Ortiz). Fast & Furious marked the first film in the series
since the original installment, The Fast and the Furious (2001), to feature the
main cast. As a result, this spawned a shift within the series' chronological
order, with developers setting Fast & Furious between the second and third
installments, to account for their absences. Casting began in July 2007, after
Universal Studios confirmed the returns of Diesel and Walker, while principal
photography began in Los Angeles in 2008, with the film being shot in
California.
Fast & Furious achieved financial
success, setting box office records for its opening weekend and spring opening
weekend gross. It quickly became the highest grossing film in the franchise,
and eventually grossed over $363 million worldwide. The film was also the 17th
highest-grossing film of 2009. Despite its commercial success, Fast &
Furious received mixed reviews, with some critics singling out the performances
of Diesel and Walker. the film's soundtrack and production were praised.
However, the film's dialogue, treatment of women, and the story were
criticized. A sequel, Fast Five, was
released in April 2011 to box office success, surpassing Fast & Furious as
the highest-grossing film in the franchise.
