2 FAST 2 FURIOUS (2003)

Featuring: Paul Walker; Tyrese Gibson; Eva Mendes

Director: John Singleton

After what happened in LA (in the previous movie) Brian is kicked off the police force. With criminal charges hanging over his head, he moved to Miami where he now makes a living from illegal street racing. But when the law catches up with him, it isn't to arrest him. In stead they make him an offer he can't refuse...

In this first sequel we learn a bit more about the street racing culture. We get a fascinating look at this little known secretive sub-culture which exists not only in the USA but apparently is a worldwide phenomenon. Suped-up cars, scantily clothed women, macho men and lots of bet flying around are what it seems to be all about. But don't worry, besides all the action there is again a good story as well. As far as the cast is concerned, it is mostly new faces. In fact, it is only Paul Walker and Thom Barry (as FBI agent Bilkins) that make a re-appearance in this film. 

I rate this edition 3 out of 5 stars.
