2 Fast 2 Furious. John Singleton, 2003.
😿😿
Edition screened: Included in Universal’s 6-title Fast & Furious Blu-ray Collection, released 2015. English language. Runtime approximately 107 minutes.
Summary: Alarming abuse of a tame rat.
Details: A large and attractive tame rat is partially ‘baked’ in a steel bucket with a blow-torch to provoke him into attacking someone, 1:00:40-1:02:53.
This scene easily can be skipped, and you will miss nothing of the alleged plot in this boring movie. The result of threatening the fat cop with the abused rat is that the cop agrees to give the villains a 15-minute safety window to pull their caper. I especially resent scenes such as this that serve as do-it-yourself videos for easy animal torture.
The first Fast & Furious film is ok for what it is. This second installment is boring and stupid in comparison. Not even the racing scenes are exciting, relying mostly on close-ups of hands and feet shifting and clutching, and speedometers climbing from about 80 to about 95, whoop-di-do. The best part of 2 Fast 2 Furious is the opening scene, identical to an early scene in the first film, with all the tough cars, cool drivers, and sexy girls assembling for a street race.
