I attended an advanced screening for my review. All opinions are my own.
“The end of the road begins.
Fast X, the tenth film in the Fast & Furious Saga, launches the final chapters of one of cinema’s most storied and popular global franchises, now in its third decade and still going strong with the same core cast and characters as when it began.
Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who’s fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves, forever.
In 2011’s Fast Five, Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn’t know was that Reyes’ son, Dante (Aquaman’s Jason Momoa), witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price.
Dante’s plot will scatter Dom’s family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica. New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry, Black-ish) is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.
Directed by Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans, The Incredible Hulk) and written by Justin Lin (F9) & Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans), Fast X stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, John Cena and Scott Eastwood, with Oscar® winner Helen Mirren and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron.
The film also features an extraordinary new cast including Oscar® winner Brie Larson as Tess, a rogue representative from the Agency; Alan Richtson (Reacher) as Aimes, the new head of the Agency who doesn’t hold the same fondness for Dom’s crew as his predecessor, Mr. Nobody; Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad) as a Brazilian street racer with a powerful tie to Dom’s past; and legendary Oscar® winner Rita Moreno as Dom and Mia’s Abuelita Toretto.”
My mom and I are big fans of the Fast and the Furious franchise. We have been excited for Fast X to come out. We had a lot of fun watching this movie.
We really like the whole cast and how much fun they appear to be having. We both thought that Jason Momoa was a great addition as the villain, Dante. You can tell that he is having a lot of fun in this film. We felt like his character, Dante, was a real, psychotic villain for the Fast crew to fear.
Story wise, I feel like there is a lot happening in the movie, maybe a little too much. There is a lot of great but unbelievable action scenes. That is what I have come to expect from the Fast and the Furious franchise, ridiculous but incredibly fun car and action scenes.
Just a heads up, Fast X ends with a huge cliffhanger. Don’t expect a resolution by the end of the film. Make sure to stay for an important mid-credits scene.
Fast X is rated PG-13 “for intense sequences of violence and action, language, and some suggestive material.” There are violent fight scenes, some intense car chase scenes, and some language (including the f-word once). The content is very similar to the other films in the franchise.
Overall, fans of the Fast and the Furious movies are going to really enjoy the latest addition to the film’s franchise. My mom and I both loved Fast X and had tons of fun. We are eager to see the next film in the franchise.
Fast X gets bragging rights!
Fast X is now playing in theaters.
