    However the two styles of racing are very different. In Fast and Furious, the settings of the races are at gatherings, where street gangs battle over who has the fastest car, while trying to outwit the law. Fast and Furious focuses on the lifestyle of the street racers. The races are fuelled by adrenaline, sexual tension, vendettas, and raw, out-of-control speed. The crowds cheer, howl, and cajole each other while presiding over the hungry roar of engines, and NOS-injected muscle cars, all set to test the limits. The settings for Talladega Nights are multiple NASCAR racetracks such as the Texas Motor Speedway, the Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the Talladega 500. In the film Talladega Nights, the main character Ricky Bobby is out to reclaim his fame as NASCAR champion after a frightful race accident driving his #26 Wonder Bread car. Talladega Nights offers a look into the racetrack and home life style of a NASCAR…

    The actor, 40, spent much of his life on screen behind the wheel of fast cars, walking away from the worst possible pileups in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise. As one of the central players in the hugely popular series, and a part of the cast from its 2001 beginnings, it created a world where there was no curve its drivers couldn’t navigate, no wreck they couldn’t survive. Cars stood for high-octane escape, freedom at 200 mph.…

    I don't agree with the methods employed in Operation Fast and Furious. Main reason is the ridiculousness of the pros and cons. There are much more cons in this situation right off the start. The moment the federal government decided to sell 2,000 rifles and handguns to these cartels is when they made an inexcusable mistake. You can't give criminals weapons and expect to track them as if they will be insight or fully in control of them. Better methods should have been implemented in this program. Starting with the under staffing of the operation, the ATF should have requested greater help and communication with the local law enforcement agencies. I guess in some ways certain federal agencies keep certain operations a secret to prevent being…

    Drive, based on the novel by James Sallis, is a new and refreshing take on an action-thriller that will leave you emotionally attached and, instead of just witnessing a film, you find it easy to care about the story. The unnamed hero, played by Ryan Gosling, is elegantly violent but all in good cause. Instead of the countless number of films we've seen with cheesy computer generated images and dim-witted acting followed by heavy profanity and gruesome violence, we're given…

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is the fourth film in the “Mad Max” franchise, directed by George Miller. At its heart, Mad Max: Fury Road is an action film following protagonist Max Rockatansky’s fight for survival in an apocalyptic wasteland, but it could also be considered a revolutionary piece of cinema. Mad Max: Fury Road is interestingly constructed, with the main protagonist Max taking a back seat throughout the film and having little dialogue, allowing the power of the strong female characters such as Imperator Furiosa to shine through. This is an extremely standout approach, as many other action films of this time tend to exclusively feature strong male protagonists, with women taking…
