2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) Synopsis:

Speed--it's easy to get and it's as close as the nearest set of high-performance wheels. Brian O'Connor, now a disgraced cop, fell victim to it--and now he's paying the price. As far as his bosses and the FBI brass are concerned, the hothead undercover officer threw one of their largest investigations ever. After losing his badge and any chance of redemption along with it, O'Connor is given one last chance when the feds in Miami need his help to collar Carter Verone, a flashy businessman whose using his import/export business as a cover for an international money-laundering cartel. Customs has had Verone under intense surveillance for over a year with nothing more to show for it than the kingpin's link to illegal street racing. With their backs against the wall and time running out, officials put out a call for O'Connor to do what he does best--talk the talk and push the metal. But the rule-breaking loner has his own demands before taking on the job. He insists on recruiting his childhood friend and ex-con Roman Pearce as his partner. The Feds and Agent Markham offer Pearce, an accomplished criminal with an aptitude for barrier-shattering speed, a deal--work with O'Connor and his impressive rap sheet will disappear. Now, it's last chance for both, ex-con and ex-cop, and their ticket out of disgrace is bringing down Verone. But the lines become blurred once again for O'Connor with the appearance of undercover agent Monica Fuentes, the key to entering Verone's world who may herself be in bed with the shady entrepreneur.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) Movie Review:

If you liked The Fast and the Furious you are probably going to enjoy the sequel called 2 Fast 2 Furious.The typical souped-up mostly Japanese cars, sexy ladies and almost non-stop action come back to tickle your adrenaline.

Paul Walker returns as Brian O'Conner but this time he is no longer a cop but a street racer that's just been caught. He is offered a deal by the police he can't refuse otherwise he goes to jail.The same opportunity to clear is record and avoid the penitentiary is offered to Roman Pearce (Tyrese) who used to be Brian's good friend.

It seems that Roman blames Brian for getting arrested and spending three years in jail. After they spend some quality heart-to-heart time together, their old friendship comes back.Now they must work together in a covert mission to take down this terrible Miami drug boss Carter Verone (Cole Hauser).

They end up posing as drivers for him who must deliver a very important package that will test their racing skills to the limit.Also there is the luscious Monica Clemente (Eva Mendes) who is an undercover cop pretending to be Carter's girlfriend that might have gone bad.

Now the story is not that important in this film. The thin plot basically serves to connect loosely a bunch of somewhat repetitive car chases.Director John Singleton focuses on giving you a few exciting car stunts while neglecting to create any depth to the shallow and dated storyline.

This movie is all about one-dimensional characters, attitude, action and style. It's made for the MTV generation where a quick fix of exhilaration is the goal.It screeches, it roars, it screams in your face like a video game that you can't play but only watch from a distance.If you expect fast cars, lots of noise, pretty babes, light comedy, overacting and sleek camera work than you won't be disappointed.

2 Fast 2 Furious might in fact give you a short thrill ride of escapist entertainment that feels like a delicious serving of junk food.
