Rating: 7 out of 10, This almost qualifies as a guilty
pleasure now as this film series left reality several pictures ago. Virtually
everybody who was ever in a Fast and Furious film is back in some form because
in this film series you’re never really, seriously dead. That’s good news for
the sequel I guess. Vin Diesel accrued what seems to be his required solo shots
to show us his improved “grimace”. The rest of the cast is a hell of a lot more
fun, as were the signature action sequences. Jason Momoa was a clear miss as
the lead villain, playing some sort of metro-sexual Brazilian crime lord barely
clinging to vestiges of sanity. Despite his very tenuous grasp on reality, he
is somehow able to wield global spanning tentacles. It was a mistake to turn
him into some sort of clown but I guess they had to tone down his Dothraki in
order not to loom too much over Diesel. As usual, you’re ask to forgive the
yawning plot holes and clearly impossible stunts because it’s a Fast film and
you forgive a lot for all that delightful mayhem.
