I'm one of the few who though "Fast & Furious" was a bad rip-off from Bigelow's masterpiece "Point Break". L.A. setting was not bad, Diesel was OK, but the rest sucked, and don't tell me about the cars. Enter "2Fast 2Furious". A lame plot, right ? But who cares when the cars eat the whole bloody screen ! They roar, they're flashy as hell and Devon Aoki is one of the most gorgeous kitties you will see these days in a film (deserves the spin-off). It will blow your 5.1 system off with engine rage and Miami bass, but that's not even the point ! Singleton is smart enough to shoot computerized cars with computerized cameras. What the hell if he doesn't care about the rest ? Having Aoki is already a cherry. Whoever comes here to see a major film is a DONKEY ! But the ones who come here to see a good racing car film, well, will be disappointed by the plot, and the acting too... OK... BUT THE CARS MAN ! They rock and such cars have never been as well shot. Now, for the ending, I like to talk about "Two lane Blacktop", my favorite film of all time, which happens to be a car film and moreover, a racing car film. Well, this one proposed two directions to follow the car film path. 2003 saw the expression of both. One, the ethic one, is Gallo's "The Brown Bunny". Good but boring as hell, but good. The other, that's the aesthetic one, is "2fast 2furious". Would it have been for a plot that was not a mere lost episode of "Miami Vice", "2f2f" may have become the modern reference for car films. 2 bad, this detail ruined the film and his reputation , but anyone saying "2fast" is crap and "Pitch Black" is good should think again. "2fast" is crap, right, but it's a hell of a shiny crap and never sold itself as more than that. Know this, and enjoy !
