Maybe you have to be a great fan of the "Fast&Furious" franchise in order to appreciate this 20-minute short movie. I am certainly not one of these, so possibly that's why I saw nothing memorable at all in this one here. The interactions are forgettable, action is non-existent and same goes for character development. I guess there is a reason why Vin Diesel has not written and directed more films. The only slightly positive thing in here was the music and the general Caribbean atmosphere all in all. Still that is of course not enough to make for a great movie, not even at such a short runtime. And this also does not make me curious about any of the F&F films. Not recommended.
Plot summary
This short story sets up the heist that is at the beginning of the fourth Fast and Furious film, the one where they hijack the fuel tanker road truck in the Dominican Republic. After hiding out in Mexico, fugitive and ex-convict hijacker Dom is working with his new partners, Tego and Leo, to plan a new hijacking. Dom calls upon the assistance of Han (from the spin-off film Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift). Next they have to break Leo out of prison so he can join their crew. There is a gasoline shortage in the Dominican Republic and they meet with a corrupt politician that is going to make it possible to obtain the gas the town needs. Letty arrives when she finds Dom surrounded by "skanks". Dom leaves with Letty of course. The next day, they take a romantic drive to a remote beach and re-kindle their romance prior to their next job.

Pretty weak addition
pointless
As a big fan of the fast and furious series, i have to say that this was a waste of time. I will caveat that by saying i don't watch short films, mostly because i don't think that's enough time to do what it needs to do, to have a story and to make you care. Cause it definitely didn't have a story and i definitely didn't care (1 viewing, 6/18/2021)
