Movie Reviews of 2 Fast 2 Furious (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: 2 Fast 2 Furious
Summary: 4 Stars
When reviewing a movie like John Singleton's "2 Fast 2 Furious", the sequel to 2001's "The Fast and the Furious", the level of absurdity and ridiculousness is irrelevant. If I were to launch a scathing attack on the picture citing its thin story, one-dimensional characters, and lack of dialogue as the reason for my distaste towards it, I would be the dumb one. This is a film that delivers exactly what it promises and I have to admire it for that reason.
Vin Diesel, who shot to fame after starring in the original, chose not to return to the franchise, but Paul Walker is back as Brian O'Connor, the former Los Angeles undercover cop who let Diesel go free at the end of the first installment. Now in Miami, a dishonored Brian becomes once again embroiled in the world of illegal street racing that is as usual populated with car loads of hot babes, bad guys, and masses of extras on the sidelines. Despite his poor record, O'Conner is confronted by the police who promise to clear his name if he goes undercover as the driver of an evil drug lord named Carter Verone (Cole Hauser) whose main function in the story is to convincingly set up a series of outlandish set pieces and provide the good characters with offers they can't refuse.
While Diesel's character is missed, the screenwriters have supplied Walker with another fiery foil in Roman Pearce, played with great vigor by Tyrese Gibson. Also along for the ride is Monica Fuentes, a sexy customs agent played by Eva Mendes who has been posing as Verone's girlfriend for the past nine months.
But enough about the characters, it's the action that is the main focus. Director John Singleton, who is best known for his 1991 drama "Boys N the Hood", is surprisingly well suited for the genre. His need and love of speed is clear throughout the movie and each action sequence seems to build off the previous one. Instead of focusing on character development and the grit and harshness of the surrounding Miami landscape, he is more concerned with the thrill of the chase, the roars of the engines, and the flashes of painted chrome. The end result is both fast and furious.
Summary of 2 Fast 2 Furious (Widescreen Edition)
Set in miami officer oconner stripped of his badge is recruited to infiltrate the miami street racing circuit in an effort to redeem himself. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/05/2008 Starring: Paul Walker Eva Mendes Run time: 108 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: John SingletonLike the high-revving imports and American muscle cars that roar down the streets of its south Florida setting, 2 Fast 2 Furious is tricked out to the max. While Vin Diesel opted for his XXX franchise, this obligatory sequel to The Fast and the Furious benefits from Diesel's absence, allowing returning star Paul Walker to shine while forging a lively partnership with rising star Tyrese, who fulfills his sidekick duties with more vitality than Diesel could ever muster. The Miami/Dade locations are another bonus, lending colorful backdrop to the most dazzling street-racing sequences (both real and digitally composited) ever committed to film. The plot is disposable--former cop Walker and jailbird Tyrese are recruited by the FBI to dethrone a thuggish kingpin (Cole Hauser)--but director John Singleton keeps the adrenalin pumping, enlisting a rainbow coalition of costars (including rapper Ludacris and Chanel supermodel Devon Aoki) to combine a hip-hop vibe with full-blown action while showcasing hot babes, edgy humor, and some of the coolest cars that ever burned rubber. Heed the movie's warning, kids: Let the stuntmen do the driving. --Jeff Shannon
