Review

The original crew is back and this time Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is killed while working for the mysterious drug lord Braga. Dom (Vin Diesel) returns to LA to hunt down her killers. At the same time, Brian (Paul Walker), now an FBI agent, is tasked with tracking and apprehending Braga.

The same dynamic as the first film returns as Dom and Brain work from both sides of the law, this time against a common enemy. If you like testosterone-filled chase sequences and cheesy dialogue, you’ll definitely like this film. The film starts to set out the formula for subsequent films such as introducing core characters like Gisele (Gal Gadot).

Los Bandoleros

As with the 2 Fast 2 Furious, this is a quick prequel short film to Fast & Furious. Directed by Vin Diesel, this film explores the set up of a heist of a fuel tanker. The short film is a bit longer than that of 2 Fast 2 Furious and dives into some of the characters' backgrounds.

Conclusion

Another adrenaline-filled action film with Dom and Brian.
