Reviewed by Tinia Gray   Hollywood Homocide (in Film) The pairing of Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett is cute but the chemistry I found wanting along with the numerous plot holes that continuously open up in the movie. Reviewed by Godfrey Powell   2 Fast 2 Furious (in Film) With all the hype surrounding the can’t miss films of the summer (X-Men 2, Matrix Reloaded), a film like 2 Fast 2 Furious may do well because it there’s no heavy expectation in terms of plot. The film is about the cars, period, and Paul Walker, Tyrese, and Eva Mendes, are good backdrops that create enough flavor to bring in the same fans that made the original, The Fast and the Furious, a blockbuster.
