Most days I am swamped with emails about the upcoming Fast And The Furious movie. I have been trying my best to get inside the Hollywood machine for you people and today I am glad to give you some insight! The following plot information has bee made available thanks to the moviehole:
This time, he’s (Vin Diesel) in Mexico, where he’s racing ‘for’ a guy named Braga. From the sounds of it, Brian (Paul Walker) has chased him down there, and may have even set up this ‘Braga’ deal (possibly as part of a deal for Dom – ‘you help us catch this guy, you get a leaner sentence’); not that Dom’s going to play nicely, naturally.
The story looks like it has something to do with Dom – and Brian, no doubt undercover – helping a seedy crowd transport some goods (it doesn’t say what it’s in the goods – not what I read anyway – just that they were in ‘large polymer cases’) to an undisclosed location (everyone’s car has been fitted with a GPS that’ll guide them to the drop-off point). As soon as they leave their location, to evade the authorities, all the drivers have to put ‘metallic car covers’ over their rides so that choppers can’t pick up their heat signals. The choppers zoom over head, but they can’t seen anything but darkness. As soon as the choppers disappear, they’re off and racing!
I have never been a fan of this series. Oddly enough I enjoyed the last one most of all, which was sans Paul Walker and had Vin in.. for about 15 seconds. The movies are not that entertaining and I hate what the films have done to our streets. It seems every retard high school kid with an after school job has decided to put shitty after-market body kits on their beat up shit box cars and pretend to be Diesel.
For a car race film – there just seems to be too much going on. I don’t want to see a smuggling ring get busted, or undercover cops falling in love with the life of a criminal. I want to see quality characters that you give a shit about put pink slips on the line and race down dead man’s curve. I love a good race movie but this series just keeps shitting the bed as far as I am concerned.
This plot seems to be more of the same and I am less than enthused. It is sad that Walker and Diesel are back because I think their talents are better used elsewhere. Vin is often maligned, but after seeing him in Boiler Room I personally will never count him out as an actor. For those of you that enjoy the series – you can rejoice that another is being made; for those of you that do not – please look forward to my review.
