A more interesting and exciting plot than the first movie, it's easier to understand as well. There's more cars this time around and the pacing is much better. It keeps your interest from start to finish and it doesn't slow down. The scenes and events are more memorable and there's a true villain this time around. How Brian gets tangled up in all this mess at the beginning is a bit of a stretch (weakest point there). The climax in which Brian and Roman execute their decoy plan was quite nice and the ending was great. There were still those odd characters introduced that doesn't add much to the story. The movie doesn't require a lot of thinking, it's more entertaining as a visual spectacle, and it's fine like that. The character Roman can be funny but his actions can be questionable and he can talk too much. The villain Verone is a credible threat, the scene in which he uses a rat as a form of torture is memorable and evil.
