Movie Reviews - new films reviewed

Part IV of the franchise brings back the original cast from The Fast and the Furious: Vin Diesel (buff and gravel-voiced as usual), Paul Walker (bland as usual), Michelle Rodriguez (sexy but with not enough screen-time), Jordana Brewster (pretty but not that hot), tuned cars and lots of faceless scantily clad girls.
Add newcomers Gal Gadot (pretty hot but in a small role), ruthless drug lords, CGI-enhanced car racing, some pointless faux-lesbian kissing and fondling and a plot with holes so big the truck from the intro – four trailers full of gasoline and all – could slide through sideways, and you have got Fast & Furious. What’s missing from the original is the anarchic energy that made it a kind of B-movie classic.
For hardcore fans of the franchise and/or tuned cars only. Fans don’t worry – this one made enough money and another sequel is already in development.
