Review of The Fate of the Furious (2017) by Dann M — 28 Jul 2017
The Fast and Furious franchise begins a new phase with The Fate of the Furious, an explosive high-adrenaline action film. When an international terrorist blackmails Dom he's forced to turn on his team, leading them to hunt him down as he carries out a series of attacks.
Charlize Theron joins the cast, but proves to be a fairly stereotypical and disappointing villain. However, Jason Statham's switch to being on the good guys team works especially well and allows Statham to shine (doing some extraordinary fight scenes).
Still, the writing is really bad; full of ridiculous leaps in logic and tired clichés. Yet the car chases are incredibly fun and exciting. The Fate of the Furious is kind of a mess, but it's an entertaining one.
