It’s an over-the-top production that manages to be enjoyable, largely because of Jason Statham and the fairly good racing scenes—though those are sometimes marred by shaky camerawork and rapid cutting. Joan Allen is a welcome addition as the antagonist, and Ian McShane is always a plus, even in a smaller part. It’s not exceptional cinema, but it fits comfortably within what we've come to expect from Paul W.S. Anderso…

This film takes a significant turn away from the source material, retaining the vehicles and violent action of _2000_, while discarding almost everything else. It provides entertainment in a distinct style, though still enjoyable, and that’s really the important thing. Final rating:★★★ - I suggest you check it out yourself.
