James Wan's "Furious" sequel is definitely watchable, however just way too unbelievable for its own good. As funny as it sounds when critiquing a "Fast & Furious" picture, it really is the case when a car tumbling down a rocky mountain doesn't merely scratch the human being inside of it. These sequences offer good, throwaway entertainment but completely rips the possible tension and suspense out of the sequence. Instead of being on edge and gripping my seat, I kept thinking, "damn, that must have been expensive!" The character interactions are as good and entertaining as ever, and Paul Walker's sendoff is handled well and with impeccable care. I just wish the film was actually as exciting and thrilling as it should have been.
