Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

milesbolland Fastlane was the coolest show on earth. It was shown at about 0400 in the morning which was a slight inconvenience. I stumbled onto it when I fell asleep in my big chair and woke up early in the morning. I flicked on the TV and there it was just starting. Staying up that late when you have work in the morning was worth it. It got it right, everything a excellent TV show needs, Hot women, Fast cars, Big guns, Good bad guys, Car chases, other types of chases, Gun fights, Some decent acting. It is Bad Boys but a TV show, and maybe a little cooler. But that could be controversial, don't get me wrong Bad Boys is awesome. Theys should bring Fastlane back. If you haven't seen it you really have to.

Stibbert When seeing this show you can't help thinking Miami Vice. It has very much in common and it's not trying to hide it. They've got inspiration from it and they obviously show references to Miami Vice. The pilot contains tons of references and a story similar to the pilot of Miami Vice. Never the less Fastlane is a show that can stand on it's own with good stories and good looks. However, if you're a fan of Miami Vice you probably won't like this.Fastlane follows the two undercover cops Deaqon 'Deaq' Hayes and Donovan 'Van' Ray. They are recruited to a "secret" branch of the police. They take down the lowest and highest criminals in LA with a new approach to law enforcement: "You don't drop cover, you never flash a badge. Everything we seize we keep. Everything we keep we use".The stories are OK. The are thrilling and the writing is not bad. They mix drama, comedy and action. Deaq and Van are two good characters. They are funny and goes well together. Of course this show has it's flaws. Some elements are really stupid and unrealistic and it drags the whole show down a bit. As for the two actors Peter Facinelli and Bill Bellamy they fits these roles good. Their performances are good and they manage to mix the funny part, the action part and the drama part very nicely.The editing for this show is quite out of the ordinary. First of all it's nicely shot. The pictures are good looking with nice lightning and composition. Then there is the editing. They use a lot of slow motion and have this weird switch back and forth from widescreen to 4:3 to several pictures at once. In any other series this would just look stupid, but on Fastlane it kind of works. This way of editing fits show and the way it's mixed with music it becomes a unique look and style for the show. However, they kind of overdo the whole fancy editing thing a bit. It's cool and all, but that cool it's not. All in all Fastlane can be OK. It's not the best on TV and it aims at younger people, but if you take it for what it is, just simple entertainment it can be an enjoyable show.

jensen-ackles Just wanted the say that the show has just begun over here in Europe and I really love it !Peter F is really cute as Van Ray ! The other actors and characters are also great.The stories make me a little think about my favorite TV show 21 Jump Street so that's great !I'm sad to read there's only 22 episodes ! Even if we only saw 6 episodes till now I really enjoy that show every Friday night !Can't wait to be on next Friday to have a new episode !GREAT !!!

johnnycage10 Maybe there's something I'm seeing about this (granted unrealistic) police show that most others aren't, but all the reviews here seem to be from people who either disliked it (if you didn't like it, then fair enough since it wasn't your cup of tea) or from those who liked it because of the glossy appearance that all the sets, clothes, make-up carried, and of course the tons and tons of Baywatch-style women who dropped by on a regular basis.Am I the only one here who thought that Fastlane was an incredible show because of the dialogue, or the quality of the acting, or the unexpected plot twists? Seems so. But for anyone who hasn't seen this show and can either catch it on reruns somewhere or find the season to buy on tape (still hunting for that myself), then you should catch it, and not because of the Baywatch effect, but because this show had the best actors, best dialogue and best plot twists aside from season 3 of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and season 1 of Angel. *******************Spoilers*********************** One of the most dramatic scenes to ever be filmed on any screen had to be when Van and Deaq were undercover at a gangster's mansion (episode Defense) while a party was held, and Van sees a bloodied uniformed cop who's being dragged away to be executed by the party-goers. Peter Facinelli's acting there was worthy of an Oscar. As for Drama, a random example brought Deaq chastising both his partner and his boss for competing against each other when they were supposed to be hunting the robbers who shot his maid. And by the way, thanx for asking, but she's doing better at the hospital! Loved that line on Deaq's part :)And as for plot twists, who could see that Billy's obsession with a particular drug dealer was because he had been the dealer whose heroin she became addicted to? As I'm watching this episode, I'm being led to believe that it's gonna be another overdone storyline where it's her ex-boyfriend and he broke her heart by turning to crime, but no, we're hit with a very original plot twist. ******************End Spoilers******************** Between the acting and the huge amount of charm that every character possessed, these were the kind of rare fictitious individuals who one could actually enjoy simply watching them be themselves. Nothing unusual had to happen to make watching these characters fun, all that needed to happen was for Van, Deaq, Billy and for their entourage to be sitting down for lunch, and the conversation would've been more fun than anything else you can hear from the TV set. Not that Peter F was the only good actor. Bill Bellamy, Tiffany Thiesen (she definitely grew out of idiotic roles like Saved By The Bell and Beverly Hills 90210 by doing this) and even the guest stars like Jay Mohr were a delight to watch. It's too bad that the show ended up being too expensive to continue, because I so wanted this beautifully-made show to come back. I would've preferred that McG and company saved some money by cutting back on the cool special effects and the nice soundtrack, as long as they left the good acting, good dialogue and good plots. But unfortunately, that didn't happen and we had to let the show rest in peace after season 1 ended, which was very sad.Instead, we now have crapfests like Big Brother, Survivor, retarded shows that have nothing to contribute but that keep gathering an audience because this girl takes her top off or that guy talks about getting laid. It says a lot about the culture as a whole when more people would rather watch the usual garbage that most TV shows and movies are and something like Fastlane doesn't get renewed for a second season because not enough people tuned in to see it. McG had done this great show, and he had also done both Charlie's Angels movies. The quality show he obviously worked very hard on got axed after one year, but the latter two movies where he just paid three airheads to jump up and down while in tight clothes made him a ton of money. So obviously I can't blame him for spending more time on stuff like Charlie's Angels and letting Fastlane go. It's the idiocy of the public that I blame for the lack of good TV out there. So to McG, thanx for a marvel of a TV show that I loved watching every week, and here's hoping that one day, maybe you'll be bored enough, and rich enough, to want to grace us with a TV movie that ties all the loose ends that the end of Fastlane season 1 left.
