Watch 2 Fast 2 Furious For Free

Who payed the critics

Such a frustrating disappointment

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The most glaring negative to "2 Fast 2 Furious" is it's incredible back pedaling on any sense of danger and excitement with a story that underwhelms to a huge degree. What before felt much more grand, here feels like a cheap 90s cop TV show. Almost everything that shined in the first film fails here.At the top of the list is the worthless and limp Cole Hauser as Miami's resident "bad guy" whose entire posse of henchmen appears to be two equally terrible Cuban drones. Why the writers would narrow this story to such an empty villain is beyond me. To top it off we have to deal with the FBI and the returning Thom Barry (Bilkins) who seriously doesn't even seem to show up for work. I kept wondering where he was looking when he was talking. Can we work on eye lines please?? Some seriously amateur acting there.As usual Eva Mendes thrills with her sexy, sultry appearance but falls flat with a vacuous almost non-existent performance. She has cornered the market on gorgeous yet empty actresses who excel in Hollywood. I think a career is modeling might do her much better. Just keep her mouth shut.Paul Walker, as the apparent protagonist to the series, fairs better but not much than anyone else. He looks good in the part as he did in the first film and carries himself well, especially in the driving scenes. Sadly and painfully though the writers and director somehow decided that the majority of the cast would speak ebonics/street in this film. Now, if it felt natural I would buy it, but when you force someone like Paul Walker into using phrases like "cuz" and "kick it" it comes off as incredibly fake and corny as if someone was trying to speak in a fake British Accent and could say nothing but "Bloody Hell, Govna, I am bloody British". SHUD UP !! Sorry, Paul Walker does not normally speak this way and his character Brian shouldn't either. I had a number of eye-roll moments dealing with Walker's onset of slang, cuz.On the positive side and one of the only things I did enjoy about the film was Tyrese Gibson as Roman. I think we got more of him than we did of his character. Every other word out of his mouth was "bra". It got annoying at times, but ultimately his performance came off as fun. At times I had some laugh out loud moments at his reactions and quips. The same type of stuff from Walker would have been hideous, but from Gibson it worked out fine.Going in to the film I knew it was directed by John Singleton who I have had great respect for in the past. "Boyz n the Hood" is a brilliant and powerful film. I also enjoyed "Poetic Justice" and "Higher Learning". I had a certain expectation about him as a Director that I thought would add to this series, but sadly it did not. Compared to the stylistic and impressive camera work and visual effects in the first film "2 Fast 2 Furious" really falls down a rung. The effects during the races/chases you would expect to improve but here seem much more "low budget" and animated. It almost at times seemed more like the over the top cartoon like antics of the Washowski's "Speed Racer" than another Fast and the Furious film. (Yes, I know this was before "Speed Racer", but I am simply drawing a comparison).There are fun smaller roles for Ludicrous (Tej) and the spicy little Devon Aoki (Suki) but they do not get much play here. Sadly, the local Miami racing circuit stuff at the beginning of the film was much more fun and interesting than the majority of the film with Cole Hauser and his dumb-ass sidekicks. I could even see a TV series around the antics of a team like this sans Paul Walker and all of his character's baggage. When Ludicrous is more fun and interesting than your main character you might want to do some damn re-writing.In the end, while there is promise here, I think the main plot / story is an un-interesting mess. It's just boring. Who cares. Keep the story more to the streets where it shines and away from FBI informants as hot as Eva Mendes. It's just dumb. While I respect John Singleton I do not think this was a good match for his skill set. Maybe the film was rushed, I don't know, but it is well below his capabilities in my opinion.

After allowing a criminal named "Dominic Toretto" (Vin Diesel) to escape into Mexico the former cop for the LAPD by the name of "Brian O'Conner" (Paul Walker) has relocated to Miami and continues to use his skills in illegal street racing. As luck would have it though, the law eventually catches up to him and they make him an offer he can't refuse—either help the FBI and U.S. Customs nab a drug kingpin named "Carter Verone" (Cole Hauser) or face a multitude of charges and go to prison. Needless to say, he takes the first option but only if he can help a friend named "Roman Pearce" (Tyrese Gibson) who happens to be in a similar situation as himself. That granted, it then falls upon the two of them to ingratiate themselves with Carter and for that to happen they have a undercover police officer already within his tight-knit circle named "Monica Fuentes" (Eva Mendes) to help them out. However, there isn't much trust among any of the participants and the slightest mistake will get a lot of people killed. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I though this movie was just as good as its predecessor with plenty of high-octane action and a little suspense thrown in for good measure as well. Admittedly, the stunt at the very end was extremely unrealistic but all things considered it didn't lower my over all satisfaction too much. That said, I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly above average.

Former cop Brian O'Conner is called upon to bust a dangerous criminal and he recruits the help of a former childhood friend and street racer who has a chance to redeem himself. 2 Fast 2 Furious was always somehow my least favorite of the Fast & Furious but honestly after watching it again today it's a very fun sequel not as good as the first film of the most recent ones but still miles better than Tokyo Drift in my opinion. It has some mindless action and over the top stunts but it's a Franchise about fast cars what did you except? Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson have a really great chemistry together and Eva Mendes also did a pretty nice job. Fast & Furious 2 is not as bad as the reviews made it look like i mean the film starts pretty goddamn strong with that race and continues to get better and better it's a good mindless action flick.

2 fast 2 furious is a very entertaining movie to watch. It's a great film to enjoy maybe on a Friday or a Saturday night. What I like to call a great weekend movie. I absolutely adore Paul Walker in the Fast and Furious franchise, and i love him in this one too! When i see him on the screen, i just feel happy and i am totally encapsulated by his performance every time! He once again nails his portrayal of Brian O'connor. And it's just him, but also the whole rest of the cast does a good job here as well. The street racing scenes are so much fun, and the don't waste any time believe me, they just jump right into the street racing in the very first scene of the film. The plot of the movie is well constructed, much like the script and the dialouge between the characters. Overall, this movie is just a flat out good time for all viewers! 8/10. And I would like to throw out a Paul Walker tribute, Paul was a great actor, and an even better person! Rest in peace friend.
