Your thoughts and opinions regarding the chase scene…

For those that haven’t seen the movie and if you’re planning to, this is a spoiler alert so if you haven’t seen it, you may not wanna read my post but anyways, with that out of the way, am I the only one that finds it a little strange that before we, the audience, finds out they swapped the safes using the garbage truck under the overpass, why do all the main characters act like that never happened? Being that they swapped the safes before Dom and Brian were dragging the safe along the bridge where they crash and the chase scene stops, you would think that they wouldn’t be trying to pull out all the stops to keep pulling the safe and Mia wouldn’t be in there telling them it’s not worth it and all this other jive.

I mean come on, they’re dragging an empty safe for chrissakes but they’re still acting like they’re pulling and still trying to escape with the original safe that had all the money inside. I can understand them not wanting the big drug lord guy that was chasing them to know that but when Dom and Brian was talking, they were talking to each other like they still had the safe that was loaded with the money. Even Mia was talking to them over the radio like they were still pulling the safe loaded with the money but that’s just it, they had an empty safe.

I realize number one that it’s just a movie and two, it was a secret waiting for the appropriate time for the audience to find out that it was an empty safe there at the end but still, they could’ve done a little bit better job leading up to that point instead of making the actors- amongst themselves playing like they were still dragging the loaded safe.
