Auto Focus (2002)
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Of all the sequels being released this summer, it seemed that this follow-up to Rob Cohen's moderately enjoyable Fast and the Furious would be the most pointless. Surprisingly, I not only enjoyed this silly little slice of commercial entertainment, I also found it much more lively than the original.
Paul Walker returns as Brian O'Conner, but Vin Diesel is nowhere to be found. This time around, O'Conner is no longer with the L.A. police force. After letting Diesel go at the end of the first film, Walker begins a new life in Miami where his love for street racing continues to grow. Before long, he's told by law enforcement that his record will be wiped clean if he's able to help them catch a local drug lord who's causing mischief in the area. Along with the aid of a childhood friend whom he hasn't seen in years (played with vibrant glee by Tyrese), the two go undercover in attempt to help bust the bad guys.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that 2 Fast 2 Furious is original--nor am I going to have you believe that the film is smart. We've seen this drug lord plot in several other pictures and as far as smarts--lets just say that this movie is really dumb. But in a good way.
The fact is, 2 Fast 2 Furious is exactly what the title suggests. Very fast and very furious. The car chases are plentiful and extremely exciting, and for what it's worth, I had a much better time during this movie than I did in the incredibly dull Italian Job.
Perhaps the biggest shock surrounding this movie is that it was directed by John Singleton who, as of late, seems to be trying to break into mainstream success (Shaft anyone). While this film hardly seems as relevant as Boys in the Hood, it works because it doesn't aspire to be anything more than dumb, loud fun. Mr. Singleton is a true craftsman and even though most of this screenplay is somewhat ridiculous, the director's style is very slick. The chase sequences in this picture are outstanding and extremely smooth.
I probably would have given this picture a better rating had Paul Walker not been in it. This guy just isn't dynamic enough. Everyone around him is so much livlier, and much of the time, Walker seems to keep the movie from reaching it's true, over the top sensibility. It helps that Tyrese is around to bring some excitement to the screen. This tough guy showed much potential in Singleton's Baby Boy, but here, he fully realizes it, commanding the screen everytime he's on it. In fact, I enjoyed his smooth talking, bad boy shenanigans much more than Vin Diesel's. Watch for an entertaining bit part by rapper Ludacris as well. The rest of the performances range from fun (Cole Hauser has a giddy time as the drug lord) to positively dreadful (Devon Aoki seems to be reading from cue cards).
It always helps going into a summer movie with low expectations and no doubt, that's part of the reason I think I enjoyed 2 Fast 2 Furious so much. Add to that Singleton's breakneck pacing, an energized Tyrese, and some truly spectacular car chases and you have a fun summer movie.
