Get revved up for a bit of car porn.
The second instalment of what will become an on going film franchise, 2 Fast 2 Furious ticks all the boxes of the action junkie fan. Paul Walker is back as Brian O'Conner and joined by Tyrese Gibson and Eva Mendes, who all get involved in an undercover job to bring down Cole Hauser's nefarious bad guy. There's lots of awesome cars, pecs and breasts, noise, carnage, violence and awful dialogue. The story is weak, but are we really looking for some brains over brawn here? We want car porn and we want it now! And so it delivers as per our polite request. John Singleton directs, David Arnold scores the music and Matthew F. Leonetti photographs the sumptuous Florida locations. 6/10
Walker isn't a cop anymore and after the first one we sort of know why don't we?
But then he becomes a contract worker of the DEA or immigration and enlists an old friend to have his record cleared and that is about it. Nothing really comes from it.
He has a crush on a woman who is working both sides of things and saves her by... driving a car into a boat.
Yeah, it makes about that much sense, but, hey, Deadly Little Miho is in it and she really needed to stick around, she would have been a bright spot on this franchise.
