Predictable, hackneyed, clichéd and canned

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2013)

I was going to give this an honest 5, but when I saw how many people were giving it outrageously high ratings (7 for instance), I had to throw what little weight I have as a single reviewer against the sandbaggers. 7.8? If this hits 8.0 it's in the same class as Mystic River or Papillon.
Who didn't know there was a double agent within the first half hour? Who didn't know Letty would shoot Dom? Were you really surprised when Shaw kidnapped Brian's wife? And Vin... learn how to do something other than mumble slowly and darkly. I guess that's the director's fault, not yours, but still.
The action was all right in this film, but it mattered less to me because I knew how it would work out all along. The only thing that surprised me was when they killed off Gisele and (apparently) Han, the only two characters who seemed the least bit real. Guess they were getting too soft on account of L-O-V-E. Can't have that.
The good things I wish to say: Dwayne was fun if not funny (no one was funny). Tearing up the interrogation room was as unbelievable as everything else in the movie, but it was entertaining to see him spoof his rasslin' career. Um... that's it.
