Fast & Furious

Rated PG13 for violence, mild language, some sexuality, high speed car races

Starring: Vin Disel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster

Picking up 5 years after the original film took place (after 2 Fast 2 Furious, but before Tokyo Drift), Dom and Letty have fled to the Dominican Republic and have assembled a new crew and are now robbing gas tankers, rather than truckers with electronics, much in the same fashion as they did in the first film. Because of this, they are now international criminals. Once word is spread that the feds are after Dom, he picks up and leaves Letty in the middle of the night, thinking it would be safer for her if she were not with him in the event he gets caught.

Dom and Brian's paths cross yet again, when Brian, now an FBI agent, is hot on the case of a drug lord and Dom returns to avenge a close friend's death. Dom, not caring about Brian just doing his job, continues to get in the way of the case, as they both need a spot on a driving team that is linked to the drug lord.

Twists and turns come and go; there's plenty of car chases, races, explosions and scantily clad women much in the same way of the previous installments. We are given a little more insight as to why certain things happened in the first film.

I was a little upset over the death of a main supporting character so quick into the film, but it did serve a purpose to the plot.

If you liked the first film, you'll enjoy watching this sequel to it, as it's got all the "original parts" back in the cast, and shows a brief background to one of the main characters in Tokyo Drift.
