Fast and Furious

These films seem to go round in a circle. With Bryan O'Conner (Paul Walker) claiming back his status as 'cop' and going undercover to bring down a drug dealer it seems like they have mashed up the plot of the first two films together and brought back Vin Diesel.

No more Lucas Black, he did one film and that was enough for anyone. Now we are back to the real fast and furious movies, like the first one (which out of the four so far watched is still the best). Undercover, road racing, fast driving, guns and Vin Diesel beating up Paul Walker; everything that you expect and hope for from these movies.

Dom has been away and is back. The opening of the film starts with him and his crew trying to rob a truck (where have we seen that one before?) but it goes wrong . The end of the film finishes with Dom giving himself up, being sentenced to prison and then being busted out of the van transporting him by Bryan and the team. So now we know what to expect from the next film because Bryan will be a wanted man and so will Dom (again) but with them having already taken over Mexico and Tokyo they have to head off to other countries and places, which means Rio in Brazil for the next film. In this film they were trying to clear Dom's name or at least, Bryan was on behalf of Dom's sister but that didn't really work out so in the next film they will all have to try and clear there names. The good news is that there are another four films in which to do so and The Rock starts to appear in the next film so better characters is likely to mean a better script and a more enjoyable film. Even though this film is trying to keep going with the idea that it is the fourth in the series it would be better if we just forgot about the third one and considered it to be the third in the series.

This is a classic action film. Fast cars, some decent driving and a lot of guns and shooting. When you are in an action mood this is definitely one to pick out and watch. It is not as good as the first film but it is better than both the second and third films. Vin Diesel is always Vin Diesel and Paul Walker is always Paul Walker so there really is no point in reviewing their acting performances. Just enjoy it for what it is.
