Negative Positive
Title: rehashing mediocrity
Review: I'm not much of a fan of the original, and not at all of the spinoffs or ripoffs. Fast and Furious was as entertaining as the original without the originality. I only watched it because it was broadcast. In the age of mma, Vin Diesel's tough guy machismo is comical rather than intimidating, and Walker's beta male as leading man style is an awkward phenomenon. An action movie will only ever be as good as it's protagonist is inspiring.There were a few scenes that were fun to watch, like the tunnel scene at the end, but the fun never lasted long. The only standout was the actor who played Braga, the main antagonist. This movie is summed up by the scene where Diesel and Walker say to each other, "You thinkin what I'm thinkin", referencing a plot revelation the audience saw well in advance. That is to say, "Fast and Furious" is essentially a collection of well-used action movie techniques stitched together unimpressively.
