The latest in the Fast and Furious series of car movies.
Vin Desiel is back in this one, though don’t expect to see him much below the chest. He doesn’t appear to be in as good a shape as in many previous movies. As in he appears to have gained some weight. Still has big arms and the most monotone voice you’ll ever hear, but it’s painfully obvious from the camera work that they constantly try to shoot around showing his stomach whenever possible. It feels like watching a TV series where an actress is pregnant in real life, but they don’t write the pregnancy into the show, so they never show her from the torso down, accept from the back. It’s much like that here. So much so it was really annoying me. So what if he has a belly now! Shoot the movie properly!
This odd camera work isn’t the lamest thing in the movie, the rediculous final robbery where two and even one car can pull a huge bank safe around without effort throughout a city on hot pavement. I’m talking about a bank wall safe that appears to be about 10 feet by 10 feet by 10feet. Pulled by a small 2 wheel sports car. Not only down the street, but through buildings, concrete barriers, street poles, endless vehicles, like it weighs as much as a feather.
Did I mention this movie is well over 2 hours long? Apparently it takes that long to convey this complex storey. This is by far the worst Fast and Furious so far. It should have been an A-Team episode 28 years ago. It would have worked then
