Review of Fast X (2023) by Dharma2 — 20 May 2023

After literally 10 installments, I've figured out what Fast X is: it's a telenovela with cars. Characters changes sides all the time, sometimes they die and get resurrected. But like any telenovela, it tends to over stay their welcome.

It's the equivalent of eating junk food; those first few bites are great, but eventually you feel a bit bloated afterwards. Fast X is a somewhat return to form to this franchise after 9 literally broke the realm of possibility.

This installment still has crazy stunts but are dialed to a more 'realistic' level. As in Fast V, the saving grace of this series are its guest 'villain' and this time around is Jason Momoa, whose Dante Reyes' is probably the best villain that the saga has so far.

His flamboyant and charismatic performance elevate this installment. No surprise here, this flick actually ends in a cliffhanger, and surprisingly, I am looking forward to it.
