Fast And Furious - 玩命關頭4
Fast And Furious (玩命關頭4) is 2009 film about street car racing. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster. I had an Upcoming and Box Office post for this. I caught this via Netflix the other day.
The movie is directed by Taiwanese-American Justin Lin. You'll see Sung Kang reprise his role as Han. You'll also see some peeps from Justin's Finishing the Game movie.
The movie starts with a oil truck heist with Dominic and Letty. Han and gal pal are in car #2. Tego and Rico are in car #3. They make off with 3 of the 5 cars, but not before there's plenty of mayhem and explosions. Dominic thinks its too dangerous to have Letty follow him now and decides to leave for Panama. Letty goes back to LA. Letty is murdered in LA however. Dom goes back to LA for revenge. It is there that Dom and O'Conner meet up again and try to take down the Braga cartel.
The movie was pretty much non stop action. The pacing was crazy and the dialog was minimal. It's a wild ride that's closer to the first installment. Since most of it is based in LA and has many of the original cast. The movie ends with a the possibility of a follow up.
Props to Justin Lin for the movie. It was a box office success and revived the career of Vin Diesel. Sequel(s) are in the works. I hope they give the movie(s) to Justin.
