Fast & Furious

Synopsis

Brian, magically working for the FBI, works with Don once again to take down a drug trafficking ring that killed Letty.

Review

This is the new era of Fast & Furious movies. Moving away from the street racing, to a larger world where cars are just a means of transportation and delivery than a plot point. Well I take that back a bit in this movie as a particular vehicle and it's components are a primary portion of the plot.

I like seeing Paul Walker come back with Vin Diesel. They play really well together and I do think there is a particular glue they created for the rest of the characters. See Han from The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift was nice as well since we knew that they had a history and we got to see a bit of it.

The car racing/driving was fun. It is the main element in this that actually is worth while. The gun fights are a joke at best. Put them with the cars jumping through the desert and screaming through tunnels and you'll have a great time.

My Rating

The acting in this series really goes from this movie to no where else. It isn't great after this, it isn't bad after this. It just is. We also get the beginning of Gal Gadot's fame in the US in this movie and and I don't think she is anything spectacular. I'd rather Michelle Rodriquez play a bigger role. This movie is entertaining, but is nothing to write home about. While there might be 10+ movies, this movie is not a 10. It is a 7.

Parental Rating

There is a decent amount of GDs and that will push my Dad out quickly. My mom will also be out from the barely dress ladies at the different race events that are in every The Fast and the Furious movie. So very quickly, rejected by both.
