Review of F9 (2021) by Tvjerry — 13 Jul 2021

Vin Diesel and the gang are back for another series of outrageous stunts. This time they even more brazenly defy the laws of physics. The plot is standard: They’re saving us from an evil genius who wants to control the world via computer chips.

In an attempt to add heart, each of the cast members gets their moment for emotion (or humor in some cases), sometimes with flashbacks. Even so, these “heartfelt” moments are just there to pass time til the next action beat, most of which are spectacularly over the top.

While some action flix boast large body counts, this one piles up the crashed cars. Still, that’s what the audience expects, although frankly, it's getting a bit overdone. NOTE: Stay thru the early credits for one surprise cameo.
