Featuring a wonderfully unhinged performance by Jason Momoa, FastX is an overstuffed, absurd, and generally fun time at the movies. Our review:
“No one outruns their past,” a wise man once said. But Dominic Toretto also said it in F9, a movie where the guy who sang “Pimpin’ All Over the World” went to space and John Cena ziplined over Edinburgh. As the Fast & Furious franchise has grown through 10 films, a spinoff, an animated series, a terrible theme park ride, and more, this group has grown from street racers stealing DVD players to freelancing for secretive government agencies.
The biggest, wildest, and most brilliant addition to Fast X is the new antagonist Dante , the son of Fast Five’s drug lord Hernan Reyes. Since Dom brought an end to Hernan in that film’s climactic chase, Dante wants revenge and to make Dom suffer. And since Dom literally can’t go more than ten minutes without mentioning how much family means to him, Dante knows exactly where to hit to hurt Dom the most.
This segmentation of the story makes this frequently seem like several mini-movies crammed into one incomplete narrative—many of which have their own tone. While Dom is after Dante, Roman is leading his own first mission with Tej , Ramsey , and Han , which primarily becomes about dropping exposition, random cameos, and classic Roman and Tej antics. Meanwhile, Letty has to escape her own strange situation, Mr.
Thankfully, despite there already being ten films worth of characters to draw from, the new additions are quite solid. it can’t be understated how great Dante is as a villain, while Larson fills Mr. Nobody’s shoes quite well, and Ritchson’s Aimes is a decent addition to this cast of massive actors who could snap any of us into a twig at any moment.
