Screen Rant ReviewsFast & Furious
By now you should acknowledge exactly whatThe Fast and the Furiousfranchise is all about : Candy - colored railcar , candy - colored babes , problematic guy rope performing crazy racing sequences and somewhere in all that oculus candy , something of a plot . The franchise ’s 4th installment , Fast & Furious , tries to show a little growth by injecting a " serious " plotline into the mix , but as is the display case with every other installment of the series , that plotline fall way behind the pretty cars , pretty people and jolly disturbed car stunts fans have come to bed .
Here ’s the quick rundown of the " game " this meter around : Dominic Toretto ( Vin Diesel ) and his ravisher Letty ( Michelle Rodriguez ) are still out there in the humanity doing what they do best : leading a squad of highway pirates on gamey - stop number highjacking runs . Dom and Letty have been on the run ever since undercover FBI agent Brian O’Connor ( Paul Walker ) permit them walk at the end of the first film , and with every new extravagant hijacking , the law picks up on Toretto ’s trail again , forcing him and Letty to go back on the lamb and start all over again in a fresh place .
After so much running play , Dom resolve that Letty , whom he bed more than anything , is only rifle to get hurt being around him when there is such a bragging target on his back . He decide that what ’s best for her and everyone he loves is for him to go his own way . And so he does .
The consequence of that determination eventually draw Toretto back to Los Angeles , looking for revenge against a Mexican drug cartel who have been using street racing car as Canis latrans for smuggling heroin across the U.S./Mexican border . While Toretto employ his street - thug manoeuvre to pass through the cartel , agent Brian O’Connor ( now a full - fledged FBI suit ) uses his G - adult male authority and experience in the street rush circuit to infiltrate the same cartel . Toretto and O’Connor of row end up side - by - side undercover as the two best drivers on the combine ’s team , rekindling their anxious friendly relationship for make for the bad guys down , Fast & Furiousstyle .
Justin Lin , who directed the serial ' last installment , Tokoyo Drift , does an fine job at the helm this time around . The action sequences are gnarled , and the residuum of the sentence … really , who is paying that much tending to the cinematography the eternal rest of the meter ? The way is not so bad that it ready you cringe , but it ’s not go to acquire any award either . As I said , the action sequences are the meat and potatoes in these films , and in this showcase they are executed pretty well .
The " actors " in the movie ( Diesel , Walker and amber - skinned hottie Jordana Brewster reprising her role as Toretto ’s sister / O’Connor ’s honey interest ) are just as stiff and robotic as ever , a fact even more noticeable in this moving-picture show since the script call for " emotional reverberance . " That ’s OK with me though : these are n’t characters I expect to be sit around around get in touch with their feel . They express themselves behind the wheel , and the stunt cars do all the emoting the actors ca n’t .
Something that was missing fromFast & Furious , however , was the sense of fun and inner circle that has facilitate define late installation of the franchise . The " serious " plot is a deterrent to any sort of humour , and the trick that do discover their way into the book are mostly platitudinal inside ones , winking back at earlier installments of the series . A perfect example : a street racer who is feel the heating plant coming down decides to leave the country , exclaiming , " I try they ’re doing some pretty crazy stuff over in Tokyo . " ( Wink , blinking . )
In the conclusion , those who were fans of the originalFast and the Furiouswill get a recoil out of seeing that report carry on inFast & Furious . Those who were disgusted by the first film will steer well clear of this installment as well ; those who liked the first film but have been disappointed by each subsequent sequel , will perchance have their making love of the franchise rekindle , maybe not .
Two things are sure , however : Fast & Furioushas enough of a built - in fanbase torake in a short ton of money at the box part , and it will in all probability be enough moneyto warrant another sequel . This franchi$e is not going to be driving off into the sundown anytime soon , for honorable or for bad .
