With the tagline New Model: Original Parts the turbo charged fourth installment in the Fast and the Furious series delivers just that, better cars with the original cast.
Simply titled Fast and Furious the movie lured original cast members back into the newest fast paced drama.
Directed by Justin Lin this film is 107 minutes of pure adrenalin rush.
Vin Diesel reprises his role as Dominic Toretto, joining forces with Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Connor.
Returning cast members also include Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz and Jordana Brewster as Dom’s sister Mia Toretto.
After a successful run at hijacking fuel tanks on the highways of the Dominican Republic the movie follows Dom back as he heads to the streets of L.A after a tragedy.
Former criminal on the run Brian O’Connor has been reinstated with the FBI working on cracking a huge drug smuggling empire.
The feud between the two is reignited when they join forces to bring down the drug lord and his hired goons.
In among the fights and eventual camaraderie an old flame comes back complicating Brian’s already rocky relationship with Dom.
NOS and neon lights follow the Dom and Brian as they race their way into the drug lords’ pack making runs across the Mexican border.
This movie has incredible stunt scenes with the newest and coolest model cars on the market.
With a gross of $US72.5 million on its opening weekend, the movie had the biggest April debut ever, and the highest grossing opening weekend for a car themed movie in history.
It is easy to see why with the original actors returning crowd favorites Paul Walker and Vin Diesel really made this movie a success.
This movie is a car lover’s dream with a funky music soundtrack completing the overall affect.
I encourage anyone to watch this movie, I would rate it a definite 10/10.
