Yay! The original Fast and Furious crew is back and I’m ready for it to stay this way. The film starts off with Dom (Diesel), Leti (Michelle Rodriguez), and his crew hijacking petroleum in the Dominican Republic. The heist doesn’t go so well, but the whole driving under a burning tanker thing was pretty sweet to watch. Then something bad happens, and Dom finally returns back to Los Angeles, even though the cops are watching for him (there is still a warrant for his arrest from the first film).

Bryan (Walker) and Dom are united once again for the same cause, to find and catch the person responsible for Leti’s death. This film centers around, yet again, a drug smuggling business. This time across the Mexico-US border, and the way they do it was exciting to watch. There are holes underground that lead straight through the border making it somewhat easy for them to cross without being seen.

Along with the normal crew, a new character is introduced, Gal Gadot stars at the right hand man for the “bad guy” in this film. I love her in Wonder Woman so it’s strange to see her in this type of role, though one could also say the other way around. Usually it’s the first role that leaves a print in the brain, or perhaps (like me) it’s the first thing I’ve seen her in.

All in all, I’m happy that the original crew is back. This film was just as exciting as the first and second one. I’m going to say “liked it” on this one. I have a feeling I’m going to like all these movies. Guess we will see!! (4/5)
