"2 Fast 2 Furious" doesn't offer any inspirational or prize-worthy substance in any major cinematic areas. The script is relentlessly lame and clichéd, the characters are hollow and inane, the direction is hurried and unfocused, and the acting is dismal and pathetic. Yet aside from all of these apparent critical cinematic flaws, the film manages to compensate for its lackings in being a high-octane, thrilling, and overall fun experience. The story is merely a convention for the action- Los Angeles Police Officer Brian O'Connor is stripped of his badge, assigned to infiltrate the Miami street racing circuit in order to retain his badge, and teams up with his former friend Roman Pierce (Tyrese) to oversee underworld corruption while streetracing and having a blast. End of story. There is significantly (and more welcomely) more action that drives this sequel, and if for nothing but the high-octane, gut-pumping streetracing scenes, "2 Fast 2 Furious" is good entertainment. It features relentless highway chases, crashes, jumps, bumps, near-death experiences, clichés, clichés, clichés, yet it is still a world of fun to experience the action! "2 Fast 2 Furious" is superior to the original, and a solid, senseless piece of entertainment! *** out of ****
