“There’s a ton going on in ‘Fast X,’ yet somehow it feels like you’re hanging off a cliff for 2 hours and 21 minutes, waiting for the cliffhanger ending,” writes Tribune critic phillipstribune.
Unlike “Fast X,” let’s keep this review quick and fuel-efficient.So says the disturbed, ballet-loving Dante , the son of the Rio drug lord killed off in “Fast Five.” An extraordinarily campy Jason Momoa dines out upon this vengeance-driven role, sporting dandy pigtails one minute and “Swan Lake”-ing around the next, when he’s not blowing up half of Rome or kidnapping Dom’s son.
Performers with a comic edge, such as Cena and Nathalie Emmanuel — the series’ one-woman geek squad with cunning fashion sense — lighten the load. The film’s problems qualify as problematic only for those who like their action scenes a little less “Wacky Races” but meaner, and a little more sustained and suspenseful.
But not everything is advisable. Building an action scene so that it actually builds, and peaks, and valleys, and adjusts its rhythm so that we’re fully invested while being constantly surprised — some movies leave all that stuff to the editing phase.
