This is an expertly made action film, by which I mean the special effects are good and the acting is extremely basic. The screenplay rotates these nouns through various assortments of dialogue: Race. Driver(s). Nitro. Meth. Sister. FBI. Border. Dead. Mexico. Murder. Prison. Traffic violations. Tunnel. Muscle car. Import. Plymouth. Funeral. Helicopter(s). Toretto. Ten seconds. Corona. Cocaine.
Dom Toretto [Vin Diesel] is wanted by the FBI and is joined by undercover FBI agent Brian [Paul Walker] as he builds and trashes some super fast cars, determined to take on Mexican crime lord and avenge the death of his ladylove Letty [Michelle Rodriguez]. Braga heads a Mexican drug cartel, and it’s one of his men, Phoenix, who put a bullet through Letty.
