When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And the two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.
The stars look bored out of their minds when the fourth episode of the franchise stalls between racing sequences, which is all too often in a flick where 106 minutes speed by in what feels like at least four hours.

This is a movie about street racers... criminals in fact, and there was nothing grimy or dirty about it at all.

Turn off your mind, though, and there's some fun to be had from some of the better whizz-bang sequences.

Though I admit the title of the film is slightly dumb, I can't really fault much else going on here.
