Why do I keep watching these sequels? Oh, right, the first scene with the bus, never mind. (And Jordana Brewster too).
THe three fugitives, Mia, her boyfriend and former FBI agent O'conner, and her brother Dom, are on the run again. In RIo this time. O'Conner takes a bad job that gets them stuck between a Rio businessman who wants his property and an elite government team that's hunting them and led by a character played by Dwayne Johnson. There's also an interesting (if not surprising) Mia subplot and a RIo female cop/Dom relationship subplot.
I always forget how surprisingly (for an action flick) good these movies in the Fast and Furious franchise can be. There's all the action, seriously hard core action. Flying off cliffs, gun fights, an awesome fist fight between Johns and Vin Diesel. And then there are caring and gentle scenes that are actually done really, really well. And stuff that's subtle, not your typical action flick fare, but nice.
I do wish that we got to see more of Rio, or at least some of the scenery in general at a slower pace. 'Cause the movie was most definitely a high octane, fast paced movie.
