Fast & Furious (2009)

Fast & Furious is back with the main cast after lending out the brand name in the forgettable third segment of the series. Paul Walker is back as 'Brian O'Conner', and he has left the cast of the second segment behind him as well. Once again we revisit the characters of the original, as given life by Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, and they're all part of the story bringing cars and action crossing the border of Mexico.

It doesn't quite manage to satisfy my entertainment cravings, but it manage to get the franchise back on track after the horrible trip to Tokyo and different characters. It's also kind of nice to meet up with the character almost ten years after the original, and that's a lot of the importance of this fourth installment as the story never catch me as well as the original did and the cool factor isn't as high as in the second installment.

Getting through the first three installments, I wouldn't miss out on the fourth. If you on the other hand had more than enough of the franchise after watching the original, you might as well drop this as it's not really that good on its own.
