More action than anybody can possibly expect

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2014)

Following the previous installment, Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) breaks out her brother Dom (Vin Diesel) from the prison transport. They escape to Rio de Janeiro. Running low on cash, they do a job with Vince to steal cars from a train. However everything goes wrong. Three DEA agents are killed, and the three escapees get blamed. They find a chip in the car that shows where master criminal Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) has hidden his $100 million. Meanwhile DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) has arrived to catch the three and bring them back to justice. He takes uncorrupted local cop Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky) as his translator. Instead of running away, the three decide to call in reinforcements to pull off the greatest robbery ever.
Director Justin Lin is bringing more action than ever. The addition of big action star The Rock just raises the bar that much higher. It starts with a great car-train action scene. Then a foot chase in the barrios looks incredible. That's barely half of it. I do wish the story be simplified even more. Most people watch this for the action, not for the story. This is a movie that delivers the action and exceeds the expectations.
