Michelle Rodriguez is one of those strange actress that have some sort of beauty but really are not pretty at all. Maybe I am just afraid she will kick my ass. Fitting that she plays that type of character and it looks like her role from the first Fast and the Furious will return for the next Furious installment.
For those of you out there who don’t know your cheesy car flicks, Rodriguez starred in the first film back in 2001as Letty, the girlfriend to street racer Vin Diesel. Like most of the original cast, she was nowhere to be seen in the later sequels. But this time around, it looks like director Justin Lin is going back to the beginning and reuniting Diesel, Paul Walker, and Rodriguez.
As much as I liked the first Fast and the Furious, the sequel was pretty crappy. Then Tokyo Drift came along and still cheese, I didn’t mind it. I actually kinda like it. The best part about it (aside from the serious eyecandy) was Vin Diesel’s cameo at the end.
Vin Diesel NEEDS a comeback vehicle, and candy coated rice rockets are just the ticket he needs to get back in action. If there was any hope for this franchise, it would be to bring back the original cast in a new adventure focused on selling pimped out parts to trick out your economy compact sportster.
It will be good to see them all together again. Hopefully the movie doesn’t suck.
