Brian needs to fix the error caused by some criminals he missed out on when he was in the force. A way out is to join an illegal street racing if he will get any close to the criminal he seeks.
Walker and Tyrese go for a no-frills style, giving the antiheroic protagonists solid emotional underpinnings before all the fancy driving gets started.

The philosophy here is when you can't make high art, make high trash.
Director John Singleton once promised greatness with Boyz N the Hood. Here he's going through the paces with a story that was old by the second season of Miami Vice.
It's a pretty bold move to make a film for groups of young males about the latent sexual nature of the relationships in such groups - and this alone made 2 Fast, 2 Furious an unexpectedly hilarious treat.
Loads up on colors, cars and characters to distract from what's missing under the creative hood, yet this spirited sequel is fun as it rarely takes itself too seriously.
