This time there's barely any plot at all, and that little is ridicolous. Brian (Paul Walker again) is arrested by the FBI because of what happened in the first film, and is given a deal: freedom in exchange for his help. Again.
Obviously he accepts and demands the help of his (sort of ) friend Roman (Tyrese Gibson).
But the FBI doesn't trust them at all, and because of this almost ruins everything.
Eva Mendes is also part of the cast, because that is how it works, right? Fast cars & beautiful women, is the thing, right? And beautiful she is, no doubt, and for such a film as this it is all that's requested.
Ok, now I've watched it, but since the thing fast-cars/beautiful-women has no appeal at all to me, I'm pretty sure I'm never gonna watch it again.
Still, a bit more plot details:
Brian is now ex-LAPD. He races for money. There’s also a Japanese girls team, and they have roads so big that four cars race at once. First race to start the movie and get in the mood: Brian wins, the black guy crashes, the Japanese girl comes second, and the Spanish guy stops the car and doesn’t jump the bridge.
He runs when the police arrive, but they get him.
They wanted him.
Now they’re in Florida. They tell him of a guy getting drugs into Miami, a year’s surveillance and they got nothing. He accepts on the condition he chooses his partner, the other driver. He’s on house arrest now… in theory. They fight a bit at first, Roman blames him for the three years he did in prison.
Brian tells him if he accepts “they’ll take off that anklet and they’ll clear your entire record”.
To get the job with the dealer they have to beat the other drivers, and the cops think they’re running and almost ruin it all. They’d been given cars full with gps trackers, so they change cars. So they race for cars.
Suki is part of the movie too, cool.
When a cop doesn’t want to sell himself anymore, Verone the dealer sort of tortures him with a rat while they have to watch, Monica (Mendes) even has to help, since she’s ‘with Verone’.
The cop yields of course, and they have 15 minutes free of cops for their job for the boss.
Monica sneaks into Brian’s room (boat) to tell him that Verone wants to kill him as soon as he finishes the race. Brian’s old boss would like to stop it all, but the other cops (FBI I think) doesn’t care for that.
The local police gives them trouble, not kowing of the fbi operation, but they go on.
The fbi is ready to bust Verone as soon as he gets the money our guys are carrying. To escape the Miami police, they stop at a place where they arrange for lots and lots of race cars to be there, so they’re lost in the numbers.
Not just that, but Brian and Roman exchanged cars with Tej and Suki (Tej is the one organizing all the races…)
Roman ejects from his car Verone’s man, but Brian doesn’t because he learns that they’re not going where he thought they were going (point is, the fbi guys kept thinking they betrayed and so move too fast, getting nothing). Roman went to their meeting point, but Brian goes on because nobody knows where Verone is, and Monica is alone with him. Roman will come too, but Verone is angry about the agents who stormed his jet. Because of that, because Monica knew about the jet, Verone knows about her.
A man is ordered to kill Brian, but Roman helps him.
Verone sails away with Monica. Brian jumps with his car onto the boat. Roman has a gun, Monica takes Verone’s. They got him.
The fbi tells them that their records are now clean.
Our guys kept some of the money when they gave the bags, the six bags, to the fbi, and they plan to open a garage in Miami.
The end.
