Synopsis:

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reteam for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on speed- “Fast & Furious.” Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller.

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.

Worth seeing?

Whilst everything suggests this to be nothing more than an unwarranted reboot of an ailed franchise, the trailer for Fast and Furious was just too cool, featuring an edited take of the opening fuel tanker heist. I must admit I didn’t mind the first film, thought little of the second, but absolutely loathed the third film. With this trend in mind, I can’t say I was looking forward to the fourth…but damn, there’s just something about that trailer (see below).
