Enjoyable - but check your brain at the door
22 June 2003
Anyone going into this movie with the slightest, whisper of an interest in analysing the plot needs to stay at home; 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS is not for you. Who is it for? Predominately, fans of the first movie (of which I am one), folks interested in cars and good-looking women, gals interested in Paul Walker and Tyrese, and folks easily impressed by bright colours. Don't get me wrong - the movie has a great sense of humour and self-mockery (something that the first flick was missing) and it's a wild ride. The opening race is amazing, and throughout you'll be impressed by the cars whether you want to be or not. Tyrese is a revelation, showing great comedy timing and it's evident that both he and Paul Walker had a blast making this sequel. Walker maintains his Keanu Reeves-light impersonation, but he's still interesting enough to capture your attention. My money's on Vin Diesel returning for the next episode (3 FAST 3 FURIOUS??? :) if XXX2 and his other projects don't generate the big bucks - set this one in Mexico, boys. Once again, don't bother with this if you're one of those people incapable of actually enjoying a movie as opposed to reading every little thing between the lines; this isn't for you. It's for everyone else. Recommended. And you can bring you date - she'll like the boys.
