The Review: F9

 

F9 4/10

So this was a movie. An very expensive looking movie. I have seen all of the Fast & Furious movies and this one looked crazy as hell from the trailer. It is. This movie is fucking nuts. At this point they have gone way off the rails and if they do another movie it needs to be more grounded. I mean that literally since they go into fucking space in this one. That's right. They go into actual outer space. The movie even makes fun of itself with one of the characters recapping all of the things that they have survived without being hurt. Hell, even a character that was dead came back in this one! The basic story is that it turns out that Dominic had a brother all these years and he is back to try and take over the world. This actually didn't feel like a Furious film so much as a crazy superhero movie with the cast from the Furious films in it together. Make one more but stay on the planet, actually do some street racing, and focus on maybe two people instead.
