“2 Fast 2 Furious” continues the story of ex-LAPD officer Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) who flees Los Angeles for Miami after aiding Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) to escape authorities. In this sequel to “The Fast and the Furious” (2001), O’Connor makes a living as a street racer in his new city, but is soon apprehended by the FBI and is forced to work with them on capturing a powerful drug dealer.
Director John Singleton (“Boyz in the Hood” 1991) does an excellent job at the helm of this action movie, creating a sequel that is also a stand-alone film with great production values, exciting car chase scenes, and a well written screenplay by Michael Brandt, Derek Haas, and Gary Scott Thompson. The very watchable “2 Fast 2 Furious” was a big hit at the box office for producer Neal H. Moritz and Universal Studios.
The supporting cast behind Walker includes Tyrese Gibson, Eva Mendes, Cole Hauser, Chris Bridges, James Remar, Devon Aoki, Thom Barry, Mark Boone Junior, Mo Gallini, MC Jin, Amaury Nolasco, Michael Ealy, Eric Etebari, Edward Finlay, Roberto Sanchez, John Cenatiempo, and producer Neal H. Moritz in a cameo as a police officer.
The absence of Vin Diesel was explained in a short film called “The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious.” The six-minute feature shows O’Connor aiding and abetting Toretto’s escape from the law in the first film. Diesel had become a huge star as a result and was busy with other major projects such as “XXX” (2002), “A Man Apart” (2003), “The Chronicles of Riddick” (2004). He would return in an uncredited cameo as Dominic in film number three “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and back in the saddle again full time in movie number four “Fast & Furious” (2009).
