The third installment in "The Fast and the Furious" series is possibly the best so far and was a pleasant surprise. I went into this film with low expectations but was genuinely thrilled by the film. As a devoted petrol-head, it doesn't take too much to start my heart pounding and the sight of the automotive pornography portrayed here certainly did the trick.
Lucas Black takes over from Paul Walker as the lead in this high-octane thrill ride. Black's portrayal of car-fanatic Sean Boswell is spot-on. Scrumptious Nathalie Kelley is the female interest in this film while the bad guy is played by Brian Tee. The cast also contains Brian Goodman as Black's father, Sung Kang as Han, and Bow Wow as Twinkie. While most of the cast made me feel positively ancient, I still found the film involving and high-gloss entertainment.
The numerous effects are beautiful, the Japanese scenery and backdrop is awesome and the whole film looks polished.
I personally can't wait for the fourth installment, especially given the rumours of Vin Diesel's interest in it! 9 out of 10. An almost perfect sequel and worth viewing just to see the cars.
