I am a fan of the Fast & Furious movies, some more than others, and my expectation was that this movie would offer a similar level of entertainment and action. Unfortunately it fell way short of that.
If it is meant to be a tense thriller then Paul Walker's terrible over-acting in scenes of anger or 'this can't be happening to me!' provided no credibility and thus failed to be in anyway gripping. And with no real back story or character build-up to balance this, you immediately get turned off the petulant man-child with anger management issues. For me this was from 5 minutes in.
I'm not sure if it was a bad story line or poor editing but the movie often jumps from scene to scene with little cohesion. One has to totally suspend disbelief during any chases given the car he is driving vs those who are chasing.
Finally, Paul Walker's script defies logic as he continuously fails to have a conversation with other characters about what has happened or is happening. If this was supposed to be 'angry alpha male type that doesn't communicate well'.....then it simply doesn't work.
3 out of 10 for a promising plot with a few tense moments.
