Review of The Fate of the Furious (2017) by Jess_Hill — 13 Apr 2017
High octane ridiculousness, a total disregard for plot, and a submarine combine for the eighth installment of this surprisingly long-lived franchise. These films aren't about storyline or film craft, they are about explosions piled on top of fisticuffs with a layer of destruction derby and a sprinkling of absurdism; this latest offering delivers on all of these elements.
The performances are hammy, though Theron does manage a few chilling moments, and the cinematography is the standout aspect of the film, with some brilliant sequences handled expertly. An utterly ludicrous film that revels in its own joie de vivre.
