#43 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Directed by: John Singleton
Starring: Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson

Let me start off by saying that I loved the original. It started what is currently one of the most enjoyable franchises in cinema.

With that being said, 2 Fast 2 Furious is a complete mess. It's no surprise when you consider that everything, apart from Paul Walker, has been changed from the original. A different cast, location and director all make for the worst entry in the series.

The race sequences are generally pretty good, but alongside these is a sloppy script and some terrible acting from Eva Mendes and Cole Hauser. The best, and only, good thing to come from this is the introduction of Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris. Their characters have continued in the series and are an integral part to its current success.

While I'm a huge fan of the series, this is the one and only Fast and Furious film I won't ever be watching again.
