Hard To Believe, But Who Comes to These Movies for a Plot?

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2013)

A group of steroid pumped car drivers attempt to save the world. Really.
PROS: By all accounts, Paul Walker was a nice fellow. I'd give the movie a couple stars for that. And if you like seeing stuff blow up, lots of it, and can completely suspend belief, you will enjoy this testosterone laced car show.
CONS: Let me start by saying that this isn't the type of movie I would typically be drawn to. It's loud and brash at the expense of characters. There are few ideas worth exploring. In fact, there are no ideas of any sort. But the entire DIE HARD series descended down a similar rabbit hole, with each successive sequel getting louder and more ridiculous, and these remained fun. If you like fancy cars and the notion that the world can be saved by speedy driving, then you will love this movie.
