If you thought that Dom & his so-called family taking on planes, trains, tanks & submarine in the previous chapters was a tad too much then you will be amused by the places this sequel ventures to. The action & drama just feels bland, soulless & uninspiring. Brainless entertainment can be fun when it's done right but it's all executed so terribly here that along with common sense goes its sense of joy.
