Review: Fast X ★★★★

Lets be honest, you can’t really go wrong with this flick. Can you really expect this one to suck with all the cast members taking a part in it?

Don’t want to spoil the film, but it’s fantastically full of drama, action, cameos and surprises! One recommendation you must follow through with before seeing this one, is making sure you see the film that took place in Brazil, Fast Five. This film will make much more sense if you know some of the backstory from that film. Another recommendation would be to see the film in the Dolby theater if possible, so it enhances your experience.

To my surprise, the person that shined in this film was Jason Momoa. WOW! Aquaman turned villain, was fantastic, nothing like watching a hot man be a bad boy with psycho tendencies on the loose. This man literally was given the script and probably only read the first paragraph and said… ‘Yea, ok I got it guys’. His mannerisms and his lines were so perfectly meshed together that it seems like he made it all up as he went along.

There are two credit scenes you need to stick around for, one apparently having been shot the week the film was set to be released. Surprise, surprise!

The end of the road begins.

Fast X, the tenth film in the Fast & Furious Saga, launches the final chapters of one of cinema’s most storied and popular global franchises, now in its third decade and still going strong with the same core cast and characters as when it began.

Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who’s fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves, forever.

In 2011’s Fast Five, Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn’t know was that Reyes’ son, Dante (Aquaman’s Jason Momoa), witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price.

Dante’s plot will scatter Dom’s family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica. New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry, Black-ish) is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.

Directed by Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans, The Incredible Hulk) and written by Justin Lin (F9) & Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans), Fast X stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, John Cena and Scott Eastwood, with Oscar® winner Helen Mirren and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron.

The film also features an extraordinary new cast including Oscar® winner Brie Larson as Tess, a rogue representative from the Agency; Alan Richtson (Reacher) as Aimes, the new head of the Agency who doesn’t hold the same fondness for Dom’s crew as his predecessor, Mr. Nobody; Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad) as a Brazilian street racer with a powerful tie to Dom’s past; and legendary Oscar® winner Rita Moreno as Dom and Mia’s Abuelita Toretto.
