After the last two sequels to 2001's ground-breaking, box office smash I really wasn't expecting much from this third, and maybe final, installment to The Fast and the Furious saga.
Fast and Furious, however, was very well-done and entertaining. Paul Walker may have taken acting lessons since the first two installments. He was great in Running Scared and he was great in this. He was intense, believeable, and funny all when he needed to be.
And Jordana Brewster has grown more beautiful over the years...
The plot was similar to the others. Not much new there. But then, we don't watch these movies for the plot any more than for the acting.
We watch these movies for the cars...
Truth be told, I was disappointed in the cars in this film.
A beautiful '72 Ford Gran Torino Sport
A '70 Chevy Chevelle
And a '70 Dodge Charger
Of course there were other cars too, but they weren't as impressive.
Factoid: Paul Walker told director Justin Lin that he wanted to die in this movie. Lin told him no way.
