[Clay sees Cindy talking to Shawn]
Clay: You talking to my girl?
Shawn Boswell: She was just admiring my ride.
Clay: That? My grandma's Buick can smoke that piece of shit trailer trash !
Shawn Boswell: What about your daddy's Viper?
[Clay pauses, then chuckles]
Clay: This beast's got 500-horsepower and a Borla exhaust system. It does 0-60 in what, 4.3 seconds?
Shawn Boswell: Wow. You can read the brochure.
Just plain ridiculously entertaining. Going to see this movie, I was expecting to be able to make fun of it throughout and enjoy myself. Surprisingly, this works well as an average car racing/action movie...that I was still able to make fun of throughout.
The thing about these Fast and the Furious movies is that they are all different, but brought together by cars and lame dialog. Each one has its own quirks and this one is no different. A lot fun for people in the right mood.
This time, we finally ditch surfer boy Paul Walker and switch gears to Texas bad boy Shawn, played by Lucas Black. Following a ridiculous opening scene combining an over-the-top car race with cliche high school life, Shawn is kicked out of school and sent to live with his father in Tokyo.
There he must adjust to a new life in the city of Tokyo, which actually looks really good compared to other movies taking place in this city.
It doesn't take long for Shawn to make friends with another American, Bow Wow, and find a place in the underground racing culture.
Shawn befriends some of the right people and makes enemies with the wrong in this racing atmosphere. He also has to learn the magic of drift races, something new for him and the series.
Obligatory story sets in involving Shawn proving himself to other racers, his father, a hot girl, and of course - to himself.
Even though there is almost no connection to the previous films, except for a nice surprise at the end, this movie still manages a decent transition to create new ground for the series. Of course, this is in the midst of lame dialog, predictable story lines, and sub par acting.
However, what should be expected from a second sequel about car racing. It's men to be fun. Director Justin Lin, who made the great Better Luck Tomorrow, certainly knows what he is doing here. He makes this movie good enough entertainment.
Its also helped further by a solid soundtrack, the use of a lot more practical effects, with less CG trickery than the last sequel, and the presence of Sonny Chiba is always welcome.
Its stupid, but for some reason, this series continues to entertain me.
Drift King: Do you know who I am, boy?
Shawn Boswell: You're like the Justin Timberlake of Japan. -
MCT:January 18, 2008What the hell were they thinking, a useless and not so nescery sequel that will just put you to sleep
