Fast and Furious 4

Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’ Conner (Paul Walker ) are back in yet another hit sequel of the ‘Fast and Furious’.

In ‘Fast and Furious 4’ the zeal for revenge and reconciliation seems to get faster than the fully-throttled cars as Dom seeks revenge and O’Conner tries to settle with his ‘real’ life.

From Panama City to Los Angeles and the US-Mexican border the wheels hiss and fine-tuned exotic cars roar but there is not much from the plot angle even as Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster from the earlier editions are back to add extra heat to the storyline.

Driven together by a common enemy fugitive Dom and FBI agent O’Conner drive along the weak script which tries to add a few witty one-liners here and there from their earlier days. An exception: Some unexpected twist towards the end.

One reason for the film attracting lots of viewerscan be due to the fact that earlier editions had involving storylines with a balanced display of the richly decorated cars.
This part, however, rests only on muscle pumping, sexy women and cars. Special effects and extreme car chase scenes remain the catchword of this film.

Justin Lin skillfully employs sound and the special effects to make ‘drag racing’ an enjoyable hobby, atleast on the reel.
