Synopsis: Though known for his thinking-person's horror flicks, director David Cronenberg provides a realistic, compelling portrait of the race car circuit in FAST COMPANY. Lonnie "Lucky Man" Johnson... Though known for his thinking-person's horror flicks, director David Cronenberg provides a realistic, compelling portrait of the race car circuit in FAST COMPANY. Lonnie "Lucky Man" Johnson (William Smith) knows that his sponsor, Fast Company Motor Oil, wants to let him go in favor of a younger, edgier image and spokesperson. As Johnson, the company representative (John Saxon), and Johnson's girlfriend Sammy (Claudia Jennings, in her last role before her untimely death), navigate through a web of competition, greed, and octane, Cronenberg presents an astonishingly detailed drama that gets to the heart of fame and the American dream.

There is nothing particularly memorable about Fast Company, even at the most superficial level.

An enjoyable pedestrian drive-in B-film about drag racing.

2/4

Walter Chaw

Pretty clearly as product of the drive-in culture while confusing expectation with Cronenberg-ian stretches of meditative silence and extended--clinical scenes of mechanics at work.

Shane Burridge

A most unusual entry in the oeuvre of horror director David Cronenberg
