Like a new-age Roger Corman B-picture fused with a Grand Theft Auto game (minus the enthralling theft portion)...
Which means that for fans of those types of movies and games, this should
provide satisfactory pleasure for a couple of hours. Personally, I liked
the first one, only cause it had a certain popcorn movie appeal that worked,
and from Diesel showing off his skills as a lead in a Hollywood movie. And
this is not to say I don't have a respect for filmmakers trying to capture
the spirit and cinematic aloofness as a Corman film would, and GTA III and
Vice City are great games. But the problem lies in that when the action
sequences finally come to play, the thrills just aren't there, at least for
me. Despite director John Singleton's need to have two or less-than-two
second cuts of feet hitting on pedals, cars changing lanes, characters
saying one liners like "How do you like them apples!", it comes off as,
well, kind of boring.
And Singleton, who is usually better at doing urban drama pictures (and the
occasional good remake like Shaft), is un-needed here. He brings a style,
that's certain, as well as a hot-shot Tyrese Gibson (off of 2001's Baby
Boy), however it seemed to be lacking something that should have been there,
even in the super-charged climax down the highways and streets of Miami. I
suppose for those who put the original on their top ten lists two years back
this will be entertaining, and I'll admit I was grinning at a few jokes (and
with Ludicrous' all-too-minor role). Yet, I know this is just one more to
add to the lists of upcoming disapointments for this summer's film list.
Grade: C
