Genre: Drama

Plot Outline:
     Like the high-revving imports and American muscle cars that roar down the streets of its south Florida setting, 2 Fast 2 Furious is tricked out to the max. While Vin Diesel opted for his XXX franchise, this obligatory sequel to The Fast and the Furious benefits from Diesel's absence, allowing returning star Paul Walker to shine while forging a lively partnership with rising star Tyrese, who fulfills his sidekick duties with more vitality than Diesel could ever muster. The Miami/Dade locations are another bonus, lending colorful backdrop to the most dazzling street-racing sequences (both real and digitally composited) ever committed to film. The plot is disposable--former cop Walker and jailbird Tyrese are recruited by the FBI to dethrone a thuggish kingpin (Cole Hauser)--but director John Singleton keeps the adrenalin pumping, enlisting a rainbow coalition of costars (including rapper Ludacris and Chanel supermodel Devon Aoki) to combine a hip-hop vibe with full-blown action while showcasing hot babes, edgy humor, and some of the coolest cars that ever burned rubber. Heed the movie's warning, kids: Let the stuntmen do the driving.

Comment:
      Out of all the sequels that came out in the summer of 2003 I have to say the one I was the most excited about was 2 Fast 2 Furious. I remember walking out of an advance screening and among the crowd I saw the film many of us were saying better than the first, they didn't need Vin etc etc. John Singleton who for the record is a much better director than Rob Cohen has crafted a film that non race fans, fans of the first and those in in the mood for a good time can all enjoy. The film starts with an nice litte race between four characters in the movie and we then have our plot set up. Brian (Paul Walker) is promised a clean record if he helps the Feds bring down Carter Verone (Cole Hauser). Brian agress only if his old friend Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibosn) can help him. What then follows is full of eye candy in the form of cars , beautiful women and action sequences. A lot of people don't want to see this movie because it lacks the Diesel but who cares he's gone there isn't one mention of Domonic Toretto or anyone from the first film for that matter. This is Brian's story but once again his costar and sidekick Tyrese steals this movie from him. Ludacris also does a great job in his first big movie and has more than five minutes of screen time unlike Ja Rule in the first film. All in all a fun film that truly is what summer movie are about having fun. Leave your ambitions and doubts at the door and just go in and have fun with this one .
