So, I've lost count of how many of the "Fast" movies are out but surely they must be getting to the end. However, as long as they keep making money...
Most of the old regulars are in this movie, even a short opening scene which includes Paul Walker who died over 10 years ago. Plus a number of other good actors, many with just short cameo appearances. The main protagonist is Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto. His main antagonist is Jason Momoa as Dante who is out to avenge the death of his father.
I need to comment about Momoa who has mostly been cast as good and mostly gentle Aquaman in various movies. Here he is totally different, as other commentors have stated his character is reminiscent of The Joker in Batman movies. It was a pleasant surprise for me, I have a new respect for his acting chops, in fact to me he made the movie more interesting than just a series of races and spectacular crashes.
Plus, as the extras on the disc show, Momoa did all of his own stunts, including some thrilling motorcycle riding through the streets of Rome. (The disc has other interesting "making of" features.)
Anyway my wife was tired, so we put this on, a BluRay from our public library. We figured the noise and action would help keep her awake and it did. I don't consider this a particularly good movie but it is entertaining in its own way. It is PG13 but there is a lot of shooting and killing, I suppose that is what movies are teaching our younger generation.
