The Fate of the Furious- Ah yes, the infamous franchise that keeps making billions of dollars world wide, which is the reason why this freaking thing is still going, and is rumored to continue to a tenth installment. It went from a street racers, using over the top methods to rob trucks to, where they are literally international spies... i shit you not!
Plot- Dominic Toretto (Disel) and Letty (Rodriguez) are living their lives out in the streets of Cuba, where a mysterious woman (Charlize Theron) approaches Dominic, and she has something from his past and holds it over him. He is forced to work for her becoming an international terrorist, so its up to the crew to take him down.
Ok, so many things bugged the hell out of me...here are just a few of them:
First, all of these freaking people have become superheroes with powers, not yet revealed to the audience. I say this, because, how the hell do these people NEVER get hurt? Either jumping out of cars going 90 mph, punching AND DENTING steel, and the freaking Rock takes rubber bullets from a shotgun close range. I don't care what kind butterfly curls you're doing in the gym. No, it doesn't work that way....sigh.
Second, I've driven over black before, and nearly died. These freaking people are able to drive on top of an entire frozen lake or whatever, going fast enough to travel back in time, and they are good to go.
Third, Tyrese Gibson's only purpose in these films is to scream the narrative for the other characters. "There's a tank on my ass!" "It's cold as hell here!" "They SHOOTING rockets at us!"
Lastly, so Dominic goes rogue...they hire street racers, a cop, and an ex-terrorist to hunt him down??? Do we not have any trained agents in the government for this kind of shit?
Final Verdict- 5/10- They are getting worse and worse with this series.It is a guilty pleasure, but on cable or Netflix, not spending 13 dollars on a movie ticket.
More movies to see this summer, until then this is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
