 Fast cars and such... really... that's the plot.

 The original cast is back for the 4th installment of th franchise... really? Why not just say The Fast & The Furious 4? C'mon... 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast & The Furious... now just Fast & Furious. Pretty fucking lame. It's getting ridiculous, why is everyone afraid to call a sequel a sequel?

 Anyway this one gets more absurd than the others... the original cast is back, One of them dies. Vin Diesel goes home and proves to everyone he's turned into some kind of superhuman. Catching car engines with a single hand, dodging bullets, etc. Wait... he got hit with a bullet once... didn't even flinch. Seriously? Lame.

 At least this time around it had a few American muscle cars in it instead of these Tokyo drifters. I just don't see the appeal of these films. If you wanna see a bunch of pretty boys flying around in some silly looking cars then this is for you. Otherwise steer clear and go get some Bullit or Smokey & The Bandit for some real car chases.
