The ORB's take: What I wanted and expected.

Movie Review:
Original cast plus New cars equals a "The Fast and the Furious" sequel that should have been. This movie is as good as, if not better than, the first installment. Of course you get what you expect in this type of movie; shallow plot line, fast cars, bad acting, and lots of action. This is not a movie you go to and expect to walk out feeling like you saw a thought provoking experience, this is a movie you walk out of and you want to jump into your car and drive fast. They definitely stepped up the action in this film compared to the first one. They added more muscle cars and less focus on the street racing cars you witnessed in the first "The Fast and the Furious". The return of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker made this movie the true sequel that the second and third installments of "The Fast And The Furious" didn't give us. Brian Spooner (Paul Walker) is back in the FBI where he is suppose to be, chasing down a drug lord and racing and working side by side with Dom (Vin Diesel). Of course this movie still proves that Paul Walker can't act, but that's not why you watch this flick. From the opening scene to the closing scene, this movie is filled with non-stop action. If you liked the first "The Fast And The Furious" you will not be disappointed.
