2 Fast 2 Furious (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
Dub Editon
This edition contains the feature short film that links the previous film with this one and must be watched however is not a must have unless you are a true fan of those two movies. Its too bad Diesel thought himself a star after the hit of the first film. After all Walker was the main character. But this film does have some cool special stunts and contains cool special features. Like 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
1 bad story+1 bad actor=2 awful of a sequel
Even worse than the first, 2f2f showing us that it is not Paul Walker that is making these movies watchable.
Tyrese is no better, with more brawn than brains, who teams up with Walker to get back on the good side of the law and bring down a drug lord.
So far we have our basic plot, and Rob Cohan does nothing to change the formula except in changing cars and girls. So much for Paul Walker's proclamations of love for Vin's sister.
So our to intrepid heroe's are given really hot cars and are sent out on their mission with a pat on the back, and a warning in their ear on not to try anything funny. Tyrese, our hothead, is a macho man who tries to step over the boundries everytime, and often gets into really stupid situations because of his defience. Situations that really don't cause them physical harm which makes them even more macho and sure of them selves in the long run.
The cars here aren't as cool, being bulky and loud, plus, the two cars given to Tyrese and Walker give the need to laugh heartily over the green and purple paint jobs on their cars, and wonder what candy shop the pair happened to swipe them at. The driving also leaves some to be desired, what happened to the cool stunts in the first one, where they defied death by swinging in and out under trucks, and racing past speeding trains?
Not here, thats for sure, the only suicidiel stunt is in the end where Walker pilots the car off a ramp and onto the fleeing speed boat.
How convenient.
Overall, this movie did not impress me, but i'm certan that guys will find this to their liking as the girls are plenty, and the cars even more so.
