And a sequel is born. From the first movie, the only character (other than some of the cops) that is carried over is Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker). This time we are taken to the streets of Miami and Brian must go undercover to bust a dangerous criminal. Monica (Eva Mendes) is already deep undercover and needs two drivers to help transfer the goods. Brian recruits Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), his childhood friend, to be his second man driver. And the two work to aid in catching this man as well as working to get things for themselves as well.

I liked the character relationship between Brian and Roman, and I definitely liked Roman’s character throughout the entire film. Always a smart ass and delivering comedic lines here and there. This movie also introduces Ludacris into the mix. I’ve heard that he’s in a bunch of these movies, but honestly I didn’t expect him to be in the second movie-so soon in the franchise. I’m not complaining though. He plays Tej, the man who sets up the street races, owns a garage, and is a good friend of Brian.

Being a Fast and Furious movie there are plenty of scenes with them driving fast and crazy-like. There’s car chases and clever ideas on how to evade the cops. There are also some scenes that are completely implausible, but what do you expect? There is plenty of action and fast paced scenes to keep the viewer interested, and I’d say that I liked this one more than the first. Still, not a whole love of romance, perhaps the future movies will have more? And what happened to Vin Diesel? I can’t wait to watch more, I know he’s in more as well as Ludacris. I’ll give this film a “Loved It” rating. (5/5)
