Fast and Furious 2 Movie Review
While
waiting for the newest edition of the series to come out on DVD, I recently
went back and watched one of the original installments of the series. This
movie is where the roots of the series was developed. When Vin Diesel and
Dwayne Johnson are added to the cast during later movies, the themes of the
movie plots shift from the high octane races that made the series famous to
more of a GI Joe heroic type. That is why I recommend this movie. Brian
O'Connor, a good cop who made a bad decision, is on the run from authorities
after assisting a criminal. To survive, he travels across the United States,
entering in races and winning them for their money. However, one night after a
race, he is finally caught. Brian is then offered a deal: go to prison or help the
FBI take down one of Miami's biggest millionaires in exchange for a clean
record and a new start. Brian takes the latter and goes undercover with one of
his childhood friends, both posing as couriers for millionaire Carter Verone to
deliver money. This is when the fun begins. Brian and his partner Roman Pierce
are pressured by FBI to take down Carter as he makes a million-dollar dollar
delivery across the country. The only problem is, they are the ones supposed to
make the delivery in their newly acquired jobs as couriers. The FBI cannot take
down Carter unless they have proof that he transferred the money across the country.
If Brian and Roman stay, the FBI will send them for prison for not helping them
take down Carter. If they make the drive, they find out that Carter will kill
them as soon as they arrive with the money. The film is most hilarious while in
its most serious moments. A couple of incredible car stunts are pulled off that
will make your draw absolutely drop. Brian and Roman develop a trust in each
other that survives numerous life-threatening situations and is the basis for
story's climax. It's an exciting film with nonstop action that I recommend for
others to watch.
