Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto), Paul Walker (Brian O'Connor) and Michelle Rodriguez as Dominic Toretto's sister, team up again for what probably could best have been the second in the series, but presumably they had script problems and it turned out to be the fourth. It's as good as you could have hoped for.

O'Connor now works for the FBI and he's told to arrest Dom. But again he doesn't. Yes folks, this is a pure machismo love story but without the Brokeback Mountain bits.

"This should have been renamed Love Story 2."

"Great, open, final scene, but, please, no sequel to this, this franchise could turn into tv's Prison Break."

"I love the smell of motor oil in the morning."

"So the time line is (1) The Fast and The Furious, (2) 2 Fast 2 Furious, (3) The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift and now Fast and Furious. Will the fifth one be called Fa'n'furi? Tell me!"

"Spectacular and stupid but great stunts."

"Not enough violin music."

Dom is sent to prison for the rest of his natural by an unappreciative bastard judge... but before the credits roll O'Connor and co look like they are going to break him out...

The dialogue is pretty lousy, but the action when it comes is excellent.
