Oops, so yeah…spoiler alert…but the movie is 7 years old and
3 sequels ago.
Three years following 2
Fast 2 Furious, we get what appears to be an attempt at a reboot or a
one-off. The film appears to be
completely free of the universe and events of the first film until the final
seconds tick down and we are given a shocking connection. This film was apparently originally written
for Paul Walker to return, but when he was busy, they reworked it to have the
character of Shawn Boswell. And boy, do
we actually kinda wish Paul Walker was back (look what this series is doing to
me! Haha).
