“Fast X”; You Better Fast-Ten Your Seatbelt 💨

today19 May 2023

Background

Family is strength. But family is also a vulnerability, no?

In this first part of the final installment, Dom Toretto’s world hangs in the balance in the hands of the sociopathic Dante Reyes, who is willing to stop at nothing to exact his revenge.

Every single cast member in this film shines, pulling their weight in making sure every scene in the film hits the right note. Toretto, despite his muscular frame and gruff voice, exudes the kind of vulnerability the way only a father can.

Jason Momoa, on the other hand, excels in his play against type, tackling an androgynous character with nail polish, as he hulks around with his six-pack abs and hunky physique. Certain scenes of him demonstrating the depths of his sadism might leave you squirming in your seat. Toretto’s team serves as comedic relief, giving you a break from the non-stop, nerve-wracking action scenes. There are a few notable cameos to look out for, too! *wink, wink

All in all, this film brings Toretto’s journey to a climax as stakes are raised as high as ever, dangling from Reyes’ fingers, with Toretto racing to save everything that means everything to him. 

You can’t miss out on this heart-racing adventure.
