F9 (Fast and Furious 9 – The Fast Saga) (2021) - 3/10
The plot is over the top, the action scenes are spectacular and the stunts are destructive, but it gets too bogged down in its narrative, spending far too much time on the family drama side of things.
There are loads of story strands and throwaway characters brought in for their pieces, which do create some funny moments, but overall, make the movie dull and drag on.
The stunts are also often a step too far and come across silly and illogical, which doesn’t fit with the more serious setting, and Diesel’s flat emotional range makes his scenes painful to watch.
The villains were great and the action scenes were fast and furious, but as a franchise, it’s definitely lost its way.
