FastX Review: A Flawed But Fun Fast & Furious Outing Perfect For The Summer
Over the last two decades the Fast & Furious franchise has evolved from a simple movie about street racers into one of the highest grossing franchises in history. Newcomer to the Fast series, Louis Leterrier , takes on directing duties for Fast X, working from a script by Dan Mazeau and longtime franchise director Justin Lin. Continuing the story of Dominic Toretto and his family of racers and car enthusiasts, Fast X flips the script by making Dom the target of an old vendetta.
For Fast X, the more simple storyline works since the movie is clearly more interested in violating the laws of gravity and pushing the boundaries on what can be accomplished in a car. This creates an interesting visual spectacle, with death-defying stunts and exciting, gripping action set pieces broken up by what's become trademark quipping from its characters.
For all the issues with the script, Fast X is still a solid entry in the Fast & Furious franchise, offering what viewers have come to expect — over-the-top action sequences and brief moments of familial sentimentality. It's very much the Avengers: Infinity War of this franchise, putting a great deal of focus on the villain, splitting up the heroes and ending on a cliffhanger.
