The Fate of the Furious

Go

“Nothing is necessary. Everything is choice…”

The film has raised the bar for silliness, that’s for sure, but my gosh, if you are a fan of the franchise, this is wonderful stuff. It’s just a bonkers films, from the initial race, to the prison break, to the submarine with heat seeking missile, to the quite spooky zombie car scene.

From start to finish, I didn’t have complaints, it had some decent twists but overall, you can predict things easily, however the fun lies in action and team comedic timing.

The banter between the cast is as good as the action, and whenever The Rock, Statham, and Russell are on screen, the dialogue crackles. Theron is wonderful as the elusive Cipher, and although the franchise has had its fair share of pantomime villains, she is by far the most dangerous one the gang have faced. And then there’s Helen Mirren.

The story might not always make sense but this is a big dumb action movie which entertains.
