New parts, new models, but need a better plot.



When this film came out is started a new trend, in mechanic, machine, design, that only the Mtv crew could ever exploit(that when Britney went bald). That even other channel follow it to, from the pimping, to the challenge, made more kids wasted their high earning college money to make their their ride look pretty, even more than the girlfriend. Now the original gang are back finally with new cars, new racers, new chases, but all that was left the hood of the story open.

Dom Torretto(Vin Diesel) is back and this time with a new team, doing what their best, only this time in the south America, but when the police catch up. The is time to move on to another country. Leaving he's only love the fearest and risk breaker of Letty(Michelle Rodriguez) . Meanwhile back on L.A. Brian O'Conner is now reinstated to the F.B.I., cracking down a drug Cartel that have been hiring Drivers for trafficking cocaine from the Mexican border, that have the name of Braga. But when Dom receive a call from he's sister Mia(Jordana Brewster) telling that Letty was kill. That lead him to investigate it, that lead him to the same Cartel as O'Conner. When both receive the same name of David Hick, that get them into a race that will get them closer to Braga. Where now they have to transport the goods, for the cartel, by doing it from a hidden cave, but Dom vendetta could ruin their cover up, And O Conner bosses want to shut the case. They have to separate their differences, and bring once that friendship back, that take them to face a whole army of the cartel. And yes drive some new model cars with the latest state of the art GPS(Im a techhead too), burning wheel along the way.

Ok let star with the acting, i mean the Vin one was the same that he used in another movie (The chronicle one) And really what glow for this guy is the in jokes that play well for he's persona. Paul Walker till show the same rookie performances as the first, it was like they were repeating the first part all over again. So there ain't real acting or Drama, but i think the ladies will like just for the pretty faces.

The story wasn't that bad, i really dig the hate they have at the beginning of the film, then later come the reconciliation, that really had that 48hr buddy thing. But wish i could have love the changing point when Vin discover that it was Paul fault for the Letty death, that could have bring something new for the movie. Now the new enemy being a drug cartel, is something that they recycle from the 2nd, that really they have went with something big or small, like a gang or something else. And the most predictable thing of all, who was playing the main bad guy, that's t when they went with the saw surprise. It s felt they wanted make a more streetish version of a James Bond movie. But is not all that bad, is the action :

I got say they brought some very new stunt to the film, from the last car chase from the tunnel, it felt like the pod race mix with some very cool pitch black effect, then lets not forget Vin jumping car moment, l mean where to you think he got that idea(hint the video game he did with car's). The gps car race, was new add for the film, cause when it came to the GPS guiding direction scene, that something tron that could too. And the great truck robbery was well choreograph, when it came to the stealing of the tanks, but true suspense come from the downhill, that let me say this once , a car passing over a rolling flaming tanker, is so gone in 60 seconds.

It was truly strange to see Justin Lin back to directing it. The man knows action, i bet he have been playing burnout or some need for speed and doing it in a very tony scottish way. Is also cool to see how Dom knew Han from the tokyo drift(i bet to critic didnt that find that). But the weird thing is it a sequel or a prequel to Tokyo, i mean where's Digs from the 2fast, they left plenty of loopholes that it wasn't explain.

Well it works more as entertainment, than something that could start a trend all over again.But really i only went to see director Justin again, that drift wasn't that bad. Furious always had that street style that made it for me something new, and original. But while the sequel came, is have been loosing that style, and going more Mtv. But with the action that it have, it till make for a beautiful u turns. So pimp yourself, head to the theater, and decide driver it, or pull the break. Hey a least ain't the transporter 3.(really man ye should have went underground).

next stop the Ah christ! Dragonball evolution.
