The fourth in the series, the one that brought back Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster, and threw in Sung Kang for a bit. It's really the first "proper" sequel, picking up the story of the first.
I wasn't wild about this. Rodriguez and Kang disappear too quickly, we don't see Rodriguez die so it's very hollow.
Gal Gadot is an excellent addition to the fun - she suits this world to a tee. Jordana Brewster is a debit... maybe it's not her fault but her relationship with Walker seems really under-serviced. The film should be about him turning to the dark side but we never really get a sense of that.
Something about the film didn't work. Good action, looks great. John Ortiz is always reliable as a baddy. The ending teaser felt as though it should have been the actual climax. Maybe that's it. Also the Rodgriguez-Paul Walker plot needed to play out on screen. That too.
