Fate of the Furious

Actors: Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Scott Eastwood, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky, Kurt Russell, Charlize Theron
Rating: 7 out of 10, Not exactly Shakespeare but still wildly entertaining as long as you understand going in what to expect. It delivers the usual breathtaking, completely unbelievable car chases and the bromantic musing of Vin Diesel. He’s taken to the dark side for most of the movie for well-hidden reasons while his merry band of misfits team up with the CIA to track him down. It’s confounding that the LA car thieves of the first movie have transitioned into international agents of mystery but with this franchise suspension of disbelief is requisite. Charlize is around to play another of her delicious villain roles and virtually everybody still alive from prior movies stop by to check in. It was a great ride and kickoff for the summer blockbuster season.

MVP: Russell as the enigmatic Mr Nobody
