I feel like I’ve been watching these movies for 10 years trying to get to the first one. So we are about to rapid fire these last four. Keeping the chronology straight, or trying to, has been some batshit insane shit to try and do because absolutely nothing about these movies makes sense. so lets dive into Fast and Furious 4.

The final climactic obligatory car scene did in fact go on for too long. That is a trademark fast and furious thing, how long can we make our audience watch cars chasing each other in an entirely unremarkable way? The answer is apparently the entirety of act 3. That’s assuming that these movies have any kind of act structure and for the most part they don’t. Overall Fast and Furious 4 doesn’t defy physics as much as some of the others but the visual effects are not good (it was 2009) and the actual writing is weak at best. Brian holding dude there while Dom runs him down is quite possibly the funniest thing that’s ever happened though.
