I've never seen any fast and furious movies, but I've always thought Joy Ride was an entertaining thriller, so I'd probably say yes.

I think this movie is better than the fast and furious series, especially the latter half dozen or so movies...

It's more tense and you feel that something is at stake rather than the cartoonishness the furious series... Also, Paul Walker > The Rock & co...

I don't see the comparison, Joy ride is an outright horror movie while the ff movies aren't, why would you be so stupid as to compare the two.

@Charlton

Because both are driving movies starring Paul Walker... I actually think the first Fast & Furious movie was fun
