Fast X (2023)
3/10
Running out of gas
22 January 2024
I'm not a car person. I generally enjoy the stunts in this franchise. So that's why I watch. I ignore the fact that lots of innocent bystanders are killed or maimed in these chases. Seriously if the Torreto family as living in your city how safe would you feel? The plots tend to be the same. Nice family forced into committing crimes because evil mustache twirling villain threatens their friends and relatives. Evil guys turn good to help thwart more evil guys. And how all of a sudden did an Italian family become African American or is Little Brian not Doms kid because he doesn't look like Dom or the lady that got dropped out of the plane. Plus uh and nuh on the 12 year old driving like a40 year old stunt driver.

I would redo the franchise for Eleven. Keep Theron because she kicks butt. And Helen Mirren because Helen Mirren. Keep Statham and bring back the Rock. Add Sam Rockwell. Get rid of all the kids. Keep the stunts and the fights. These movies don't really have a plot so no need to do anything original. Just pick a recent car crash movie.

So three stars for stunts, Helen, Charlize and Stratham. May the farce be with you.
