“Fast X”, the tenth film in the Fast & Furious Saga, launches the final chapters of one of cinema’s most popular global franchises, now in its third decade and still going strong with the same core cast and characters as when it began.
There’s no surprises and just like the original, this is one is still full of fast cars, big fella, hot chicks and exotic locations which was a challenge for director Louis Leterrier
LISTEN TO LOUIS LETERRIER HERE:
“Fast X” begins in the story of 2011’s Fast Five, when Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) 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),
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.
Sorry Mr Director you’re lovely but Fast X gets ★★ from me.
