Fast cars, scantily clad women, and the quest to take down a killer sum up the fourth installment of the “Fast and Furious” series.

Complete with the original cast from the first movie in 2001, the flick boasts exciting car races and impossible driving, with its usual bad acting and corny one-liners.

The movie takes place in southern California and three Spanish speaking countries: the Dominican Republic, Panama, and Mexico.

With booming reggaeton and badly spoken Spanish, the movie holds true to its ever present Latin flare.

Melded montages of car races through the dusty mountains of northern Mexico expose “suped up” cars as each driver tries to avoid death.

Only the main characters accomplish this mean fit.

When Dominic “Dom” Toretto (Vin Diesel) decides it’s finally too dangerous for him to be out and about hijacking gas tankers with his criminal status, he flees to Panama City leaving behind his lover/ partner in crime, Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez).

Complications inevitably arise and Dom finds himself in L.A. once again, with Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) head to head in tackling a mighty drug cartel who conveniently hires street racers to deliver drugs across the border into Mexico.

While the acting skills of many are lacking, Diesel keeps audiences engaged with his determined and pensive scenes.

We see the softer side of him avenging his girlfriend while blowing up cars and throwing uppercuts.

He also fights off the ladies with one hand while he sips a Corona in the other in the majority of scenes.

While Diesel lost all hope in 2005 when he starred in “The Pacifier” as basically a hardcore, nanny, “Fast and the Furious” has redeemed him and his badass status once more.

As always “Fast and Furious” pleases the young crowds dying to be street racers, as was shown in the numerous suped up Hondas that raced out of the movie parking lot on two wheels following the movie’s end.
