2 Fast 2 Furious
2003 Directed by John Singleton
Synopsis
How Fast Do You Want It?
It's a major double-cross when former police officer Brian O'Conner teams up with his ex-con buddy Roman Pearce to transport a shipment of "dirty" money for shady Miami-based import-export dealer Carter Verone. But the guys are actually working with undercover agent Monica Fuentes to bring Verone down.

This is much better than first film, basically because this is just Bad Boys 2 lite. In fact, BB2 and 2F2F were even being filmed at the exact same time in Florida. Pretty much every single aspect of this film is better than the first film, except for some of the car stunts. There is never a real wow stunt in 2F2F like there is in the original flick. This is not really that big of a deal though.

"Come on, man. Guns, murderers and crooked cops? I was made for this, bro."
Yes, the film is borderline retarded, the acting is horrible and the ending is so eye rolling that I can't see straight, but for some reason I was entertained.
I won't try to safe this film in any way or form, is the worst of the franchise hands down, it feels so unreal and the CGI looks horrible!
Now, with all that said and dusted, I was entertained by the bad acting and confusing plot lines. Still, I got introduce to new members of the "team" and there where a couple of nice car chases.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but 2 Fast 2 Furious really needed Vin Diesel.

2 Fast 2 Furious is a mostly enjoyable yet kind of a corny and lame sequel to the 2001 film. Much of the film plays a lot like a MTV or BET movie special, and is just as generic as really any action movie can get. The dialogue in the film is as corny as it can possibly get which is saying a lot for this series, and the villain played by Cole Hauser, never once feels meancing or threatning. But, what ends up kind of saving this film are the action/race scenes, fun chemistry and banter between Paul Walker and Tyresse Gibson, and of course lots of hot chicks including, Eve Mendes ;). But, at the end of the day this film is absolutely nothing special, and it's probably my least favorite one of the series. Just to note, this movie features Flass from Batman Begins (the corrupted cop), never realized it until this rewatch.

Watched most of this but missed the beginning as it was on TV.
Ethnic diversity at its most obvious and cliched. White guy and black guy buddy up supported by a bunch of Portuguese, Chinese, Mexican, Martian, Vulcan... Only reason I guess this was done was to offend everyone in sight with this rancid excuse for entertainment.Some awful and obviously sped up action sequences and so many cliches I lost count. Even the car chases are BORING. I can just see John Frankenheimmer rolling around in his grave wondering why he bothered with the concept in his lifetime.
I don't even know what the story was about really. I guess I only logged this because I hope I'll never have to watch it again.
Why couldn't the bad dude just shoot everyone at the beginning?

Somehow manages to be even worse than the first one, not an easy feat by any means. I had actually pegged Singleton as a better director than Cohen, but this film single-handedly obliterates any good will the guy might have ever had. The film is shot like a porno, a feeling only heightened whenever Cole Hauser shows up, seemingly ready to Brazzer the place up at any given moment. Then there's Tyrese Gibson's necessity to finish every single goddamn sentence with a semi-pronounced "brah," as if he's about to have a stroke. Paul Walker is just happy to be standing in front of a camera. Jesus Christ. Justin Lin can't get here fast enough.

What do you know, it's actually worse than the first one.

Some better car chase scenes then the first one, but missing a lot of the charm. And where's Dom?

Somehow worse than the first film. I didn't that was possible.

Who knows what it is—my not 100% getting Vin Diesel's appeal, Paul Walker having more fun, or Tyrese as Roman just being a better foil to Brian—but I liked this more than the first installment. Little more colorful, little cooler, little more convoluted. All to the film's benefit. There's plenty of dead air still, but with the set pieces stepping it up a notch (loved the scramble, oh and THIS i.imgur.com/af5eFx7.jpg HAPPENS, SO) I'm looking forward to the franchise really kicking into high gear.

2 Fast 2 Furious is in many, many ways a far inferior film to it's predecessor The Fast and the Furious. But what it does have, is a certain likability to it, which i don't fully understand.
Returning star Paul Walker, playing ex-under cop turned fugitive Brian O'Conner has a chance to redeem himself and with the help of child hood friend Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) bring down drug lord Carter Verone (Cole Hauser). It brings what is expected for the film, Sexy ladies wearing skimpy outfits, men who look good with their tops off, and extremely fast cars. As already stated the film is worse than the first in a lot ways, the acting is pretty poor throughout the…
