subtle and nuanced

Uhhh... didn't they already, like, do all of this in Point Break? Same freakin' movie, just not as good. Not that Point Break is "Raging Bull" or anything, it's just that this movie (Fast and the Furious) tries SO HARD to make sure that ALL THAT ATTITUDE is RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. Point Break at least had a little laid back surfer dude 'tude to it (although, we finally figured out that Keanu wasn't actually ACTING in that movie). Plus, Fast and the Furious lacks that world class quote a la "I. am an EFF-BEE-YI A-gent. I. CANNOT. ROB. a BANK!" The best The Fast and the Furious can muster is "If I win, I get the money... AND the respect. That's more important to some people." Wow. Thanks for spelling that out.
