Ernest Hardy discusses John Singleton's 2003 2 Fast 2 Furious, a sequel to The Fast and the Furious, which focuses on ex-police officer Brian O'Conner, who relocates from Los Angeles to Miami to start over. Underground street-racing gangs remain crucial to the storyline as Brian goes undercover for the FBI to take down a powerful drug dealer. The film is a testament to Singleton's versatility, as he "takes the aggressive, one-note conflicts of the action genre and builds whole networks of resentment out of them" (Vulture).
