 2 Fast 2 Furious film review
Without Vin Diesel to fuel it, 2 Fast 2 Furious misfires so badly it should be renamed '2 Slow 2 Boring'.
The sequel to the surprise hit of 2001 The Fast And The Furious, which established Diesel as a star, lacks the exuberance and enthusiasm director and writer Rob Cohen brought to the original.
With John Singleton now at the helm, 2 Fast moves away from the unfamiliar world of streetracing so successfully exploited in the original.

 2 Fast 2 Furious
This sequel to 2001's hit "The Fast and the Furious" doesn't star Vin Diesel, and that's not all that has changed in "2 Fast 2 Furious." The original movie, a kind of souped-up rendition of an old Roger Corman youth flick, got its super-charged energy from Los Angeles' import-car street racing scene.
Business looks robust, though "2 Fast" may not equal the $144.5 million domestic gross of the original film.
For a movie with only a so-so setup and a droopy, cliche-ridden middle, "2 Fast's" third act neatly brings together all the plot threads for an extended race/chase that pays everything off quite well.
