The film’s opening sequence features French Parkour star David Belle’s athletic acrobatics as he outruns and outsmarts dozens of bad guys…and it’s downhill from there. He teams up with Paul Walker as a renegade cop (is there any other kind?) to bring down the gangstas. The plot is so ludicrous that it’s not worth outlining, but suffice it to say that it’s an extremely dumb framework for an onslaught of mostly mediocre fights and frantic chases. The action is usually shot too blurry and edited to frenetically to appreciate the effort. Hopefully, the next “Fast & Furious” will be a better film, because this would be an embarrassing sendoff for Walker.
