2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)

...attractive woman. Yes, "2 Fast, 2 Furious" does feel like you have watched it before and that is mainly because all of the elements of the plot are as old as the hills. Numerous films have worked these elements to a much greater extent and added their own twists, where as "2 Fast, 2 Furious" fails to add anything new to the formula and ends up being completely predictable. With such a predictable plot you would expect this to be a monotonous bore, ...
...way he directed "2 Fast 2 Furious", he may not have made a great movie but he has done a good job with what he had. Personally I feel that he was dealing with a pretty weak script, so instead of trying to make something out of nothing, he gave the majority audience what they wanted, fast cars, fast action, more fast cars and a few beautiful people and did I mention the fast cars. Summary *********** Even though "2 Fast 2 Furious" has no Diesel ...

...– Bad Boys. Bad Boys 2. Tango and Cash… ***SO….*** …what? Or rather, why? Why did Vin Diesel not sign up for this? Because he read the script. Why is it populated with rap star cameos (Hi Ludacris!) and cheap jokes? Because the dollar is king in Hollywoodland, where even the most banal of movies are given a second chance. And rap music sells, so let’s get it in the movies! F**k integrity! Lets make some sweet green! Who are the actors? Who cares! ...

This requires a complete severance of the medulla oblongata tho’. The first “Fast” movie was brash and loud and something a little different (very nice car racing FX for example). The sequel operates on the same theory that made the Matrix sequels disappointing ...

Either that, or they didn’t offer him enough spondoolicks (money). ~ ~ The original The Fast and the Furious, while never in line to win any Oscars, was at least entertaining, and a success both at the box office and in the video shops. So I suppose that it was almost inevitable that the ...

As you watch this movie, it quickly becomes very obvious that this film is more about milking the money out of the pockets of the cinema-going public than with making a credible follow-up to the original movie. ~ ~ Vin Diesel’s co-star in The Fast and the Furious, Paul Walker, makes a comeback as Brian O’Connor, the undercover cop who infiltrated the highly illegal world ...

Ok, so Brian O'Connor has let his mark get away and has run into hiding from the police, who are now chasing him with a string of charges (From aiding and abetting to infinite counts of dangerous driving). He travels from Los Angeles, across America to Miami, building up his cash and street racing form as he goes. This leads us into the fantastic opening sequence of the first race. Typical setting, fast import cars, hot chicks, big sound systems ...
...pocket floating around. O'Connor gets the call: "You wanna race?" "You know I need the money." So it's settled. The silver and blue skyline squares up alongside an RX7, a Supra and an S2000, ready to run into one of the most exciting race sequences ever put down on film, ending with an enourmous bridge jump. The film then escalates to O'Connor (Paul Walker) getting caught by the cops and being given a choice: Work for us and your record dissapears, ...

Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)

...as I found '2 Fast 2 Furious' as the late night movie on ITV2. I have seen the whole of the Fast and the Furious trilogy, but I can barely remember the third one which I only saw a matter of months ago so you can imagine how my memory fairs when it comes to the other two. It's just a matter of fact, these movies aren't memorable. They're just brainless movies that you can watch at a drop of a hat, but they aren't half entertaining. I cannot even ...
...introduce a new lead character for every movie just because they did for Tokyo Drift, but a little trip down memory lane on IMDB.com has shown me that Brian O'Connor was also the lead character in the original movie, played by Paul Walker, who hasn't exactly got the acting credentials of an Oscar winner. The way they talk about the characters history doesn't jog any memories to me about the first film, however I think this is done on purpose to try ...

Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)

...doubts as to how good 2 Fast 2 Furious could be without Vin Diesel on board (Pause for a quick drool)! Could it match up to the original at all? The first film opened up a new world to us and has apparently increased the popularity of street racing in the US, which the police are not too happy about! The film begins as they set up for a street race. The roads are blocked and the cars are all lined up. Unfortunately they are one car short, which ...

After the race is over, he gets caught by the police and in exchange for clearing his rap sheet, he is to go undercover for the FBI. Carter Verone (Cole Hauser) is wanted by the FBI for money laundering and other unpleasant behaviour. O'Conner is to go for a job as a driver for Verone ...

...is how the majority of 2 fast's dialogue is on screen and it get's very boring very quickly. it seems that this is the way of the street in this film even though it's the street according to Roman and Brian. For some reason they seem to fast talk to each other whilst pelting down the freeway in reverse. Imaagine some of the cheesiest action films and you've got it here. This film also seems to have forgotten it's roots and while it opens with a street ...

..."2 Fast 2 Furious(2003)" is the sequel to the movie "The Fast and the Furious(2001)". The movie is primarily set in Miami. Directed by John Singleton, and distributed by Universal Studios, it does not live up to the prequel. John Singleton is fine, but is handicapped by the weak storyline. The Stunt directors and stunt drivers have done a fine job. The adrenaline packed car races are definitely worth the money you spent on the tickets. After Rob ...
...With movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious which idolize street racing, teens are drawn towards the dangerous world of street racing. When you crash against a palm tree at speeds of a 100 miles an hour, the human body can suffer grave injuries like a permanently damaged spinal cord, or have certain areas of the brain permanently damaged resulting in problems like speech impairment. Believe me it really feels good to live with hands and legs that work. One ...

Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)

...say which is better, part 2 has far more action, more cars, more racing, but the storyline is just an excuse to show street races. However, the street races are better in this part. Sometimes they are a very unrealistic, but hey, what do you expect! So, if you going for the cars and the action, you can't miss it! I believe that the original film had a better script and lesser action, but what makes the big difference is the absence of Vin Diesel. ...

Paul Walker(Brain O'Conner) obviously dominated the whole film, and I got a bit annoyed, because he kept finishing his sentences with 'bro'. That didn't fit him very well. And who also annoyed me was Devon Aoiki (Suki), that girl just can't act, with her weird accent, and strange look, nope, they should have asked me instead, lol! If you're a girl, and you ...

Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)

PRECONCEPTIONS: Its a sequel Its a film that reels people in for seeing the cars so what're they gunna do for a storyline? Where's the main star we know and love? Its not so groundbreaking anymore ACTUALITY: Well as mainstream films go, this can join the line of cliches. Hollywood has reeled off another formulaic plot, just that the situation is different. This time its all about car chases instead of just one car chase set piece. -Plot- ...
...being found out by an evil trendy bad guy, where the main hero's love interest is also entangled into the sticky web of the story, making for an entirely predictable ending -- then you know what'll happen before you get there. -Script- Tacked on, macho bull****. Nothing new or inventive. However there are a few comic moments. -Characters- Probably the thing which gives it the most lack of credibility. They all have a certain machismo which gets ...

Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious (DVD)

This film was never going to be about the story, and if anyone was intending to see it based on the plot then they would need their head examining. No, as many people have said beforehand the plot, which is there albeit on a very small scale is just an excuse for the cars and the effects. For those of you interested, it sees Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) as a street racer in Miami having left the LAPD in the first film. Having made a deal with the ...
...childhood friend, Roman Pierce (Tyrese) to catch Carter Verone (Cole Hauser). So, typical action movie fare then, but what about the performances. Well Walker seems to struggle a bit near the beginning of the film with some of his lines feeling forced, but as the film goes on he seems to get more and more into the role. Same goes for Tyrese. Eva Mendes as Monica Fuentes, another undercover cop, plays her role well, but my main applause goes to Chris ...
