PLOT
Before a deranged vengeance seeker named Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa) shows up, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his wife Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are relieved to have given up their risky street racing and robbery lifestyle for their family’s serenity and safety. The story doesn’t matter, but Toretto’s witty buddies being dispatched on a phony mission to Rome is where it all starts.
A significant bomb explosion that turns the agency against the squad is blamed on them. The film’s most ambitious chase action takes place at this point. The mastermind is drug lord Dante, who is determined to cause Toretto pain by robbing him of his family.
REVIEW
For over 20 years since it first came out, the Fast and the Furious series has largely offered us the same material: exaggerated, fast-paced action with little to no emotional resonance. Perhaps the most significant loss for the series was Paul Walker’s untimely death in 2013. Even when more recent participants have entered the race, the core group has remained constant.
In addition to Diesel and his group, Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Gal Gadot, Scott Eastwood, Jason Statham, and now Jason Momoa, the series has turned to employing actors as minor script changes.
Jason Momoa most enjoys playing his character despite a convoluted, ridiculous, and overstuffed plot. He imbues his comedic-psychotic antagonist with the irrationality and rage of a displeased worker serving a notice period. The most entertaining and amusing parts of his jokes and character monikers are. He is vengeful and cruel but not as terrifying as his Joker-like alter persona may suggest.
In the tenth installment, there will be a ‘family’ and ‘agency’ term after every two sentences. An orgie of explosions and vehicle chases, directed by Louis Leterrier, is offered, requiring little emotional involvement. If you don’t mind a continuous stream of ridiculous action scenes laden with VFX that prevent quiet moments, Fast X fulfills its promise. Fun Pete Davidson cameo.
Ratings: 2/5
You won’t even budge an inch. The F&F series is almost over. The novelty aspect is nonexistent, and viewing one movie in the series is equivalent to watching them all. Therefore, you want them to follow that VRS. Due to these factors, it received a two-star rating out of five.
