Review of F9 (2021) by Xug — 29 Jul 2021

Terrible. An attempt to shoe horn in some sort of heart beat without creating any proper character development. Family moments are now forced through terrible dialogue, harsh frowns and strained looks of concern.

With the series at number 9, the writers have elected to create more history without creating a connection for the audience. As a result, we're left feeling nothing for what these characters have experienced.

Some of the talent is wasted, with Charlize Theron spending half the film in a glass box before miraculously escaping for the finale of the film.

Nothing here makes sense. Cars now flip semi trailers and falling characters are regularly caught using the bonnet of the nearest car.

I resent this film because of what it could have been and the stain it has left on an otherwise good run of films. With such a big budget someone should have had the balls to tell Justin Lin "Stop and let the film breath for a second".
