While the film deserves to be written off as trash and dumped in the wastebasket along with its second-rate predecessor, there’s an audience for this kind of movie. Gearheads will eat it up.

Of note is the steady transition from street-racing heisters to James Bond levels of spy action, with the chief assignment being one far above the pay grade (and skill set) of a mere car guy.

2 Fast 2 Furious features hundreds of practical effects that take your breath away. It makes 2 Fast one of the low-key best films in the franchise.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 22, 2023

The 2003 film looks like it was shot on a fairly low budget. Aside from an electrifying introductory race, the film is a bore visually and narratively, and it includes one of the most forgettable villains of the franchise.

2 Fast 2 Furious' narcotising script conspires with excessively effects-driven racing sequences to sap much of the fun out of an otherwise promising buddy cop setup.

Vin Diesel managed to distance himself from this mess; it's too bad Singleton didnt do the same.

...has half the racing scenes, twice the plot and none of the Vin Diesel.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 29, 2015

Loads up on colors, cars and characters to distract from what's missing under the creative hood, yet this spirited sequel is fun as it rarely takes itself too seriously.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 28, 2015

Death by sequel. Extremely violent sequel.

The philosophy here is when you can't make high art, make high trash.

...ultimately doesn't fare as well as its mediocre predecessor...

I'd go so far as to say that if you really liked this film, you have a career working in fast food to look forward to. Get it? Fast food?

... it provides enough sexy rides, blacktop fury, screeching hairpin turns and crashes to keep the celluloid humming ...

This is not a movie about people. It's about cars going very, very fast.
