IDEA

  • X is in the army
  • He is mistaken and accused of drug smuggling, he therefore goes AWOL, FBI agent Y is sent after him, Y happens to be a friend
  • X is trying to find the rug smugglers who set him up - leads him to Miami
  • It is the Miami - Columbia Run
  • X finds cartel
  • X and Y find their way in - street racing - win race and your in
  • Z is the front man (woman) for the gang
  • Y gets romantically involved with Z
  • X and Y get in on a drug run
  • Z finds out what X and Y is doing but loves Y too much to tell the gang
  • ABC finds out Z is no longer faithful - and holds her hostage
  • X and Y are now in a dilema
  • X and Y must take down the gang to save Z and clear their names
  • At their disposal -fast cars, guns and their drug haul
  • Queue fast paced and explosive fight scenes and chases
  • ABC are defeated
  • Upon their return they are sent to jail for disobeying orders
  • They decide to break out and join the underground world that they were so good in
  • Because FBI loves Y so much she is easily persuaded to give them an escape route
  • END film on cliff hanger - do they escape?

All About Me - Well Sort Of

Hi I'm Shoumo Dana, this is my action adventure blog. I love films and will watch any type of film as long as it is a quality production. I perticularly like action and adventure films as there can be elements of suprise and unexpected twist, but obviously also because of the guns, cars, explosions and pace.
