Review of The Fate of the Furious (2017) by Chrisanne C — 30 Apr 2017
FF8 should be called, "Battle of the Bald Men", thanks to the addition of Jason Statham after Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Tyrese Gibson. Only Bruce Willis is missing! FF films are formulaic, and successful.
It's the camaraderie, cars, chicks, crashes and crazy humour that global audiences love. It just means you will have to leave your brain outside the cinema doors for 2 hours and just enjoy the jokes and the over-the-top actions.
Never mind the plot holes. I thought Helen Mirren stole show this round. Charlize Theron is being typecasted in her usual wicked stepmother/queen role, and is becoming more boring to watch. Looks like FF9 and FF10 are on the way.
And I guess trying not to get stale and finding new storylines would be the biggest challenges for this highly watchable cast.
