Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2011)

It's rare that I come out of a movie and just want to walk back in and watch it again - and how often is that likely to happen with the fourth sequel? Probably never again! The movie has so many great moments from rooftop chases to gun battles to the amazing safe chase finale and all with very little or no CG - I'm just glad there were no tunnel chases like the previous movie. The quieter moments are great too, the extended family these characters have created make their bond very believable and like a real family they fight but ultimately have each others back. There are some extremely funny moments too, the toilet scene is funnier than anything in the latest Big Mommas House and any conversation between Tej and Roman is delightful. Surprisingly The Rock is barely in the movie but he does get a great post-credits moment with someone else from the franchise history. It's worth sticking round for that. It is a far superior action movie to most others out there and definitely better than the other car movies of late, Faster and Drive Angry - I'm looking at you.
