The Fate of the Furious is the eighth Fast and Furious film and this one sees Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) go rogue for the mysterious Cipher (Charlize Theron) naturally his team (Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez and Nathalie Emmanuel) aren't happy about this so they vow to bring him in and find out why he turned.
The Fate of the Furious was an okay instalment in the long running series but it does fall short of the previous 3 films don't get me wrong its perfectly entertaining and made and everyone involved commits to their roles but it kind of left me a little bored after a while.
The reasons for this are 2: Firstly the near endless sound of vroom Vroom VROOOOOOOMMMMMM VRRRRROOOOOMMMMMM really got on my nerves after a while as they began to feel a bit repetitive with the crazy car stunts and loud engines and it doesn't help that F. Gary Gray the director doesn't really do anything exciting with the chase scenes in the way that James Wan did with Furious 7 in 2015.
Another thing Furious 7 had was a genuine heart beating at the centre of its proceedings no doubt brought on by the tragic death of Paul Walker during production but the way the film dealt with that and paid fitting tribute to him really made that film stand out as something worthwhile whereas here the heart seems to have been removed in a service and replaced by a motor and engine that just goes loud, very loud and ear shattering and it also doesn't help that Gray isn't as exciting an filmmaker as Wan is and all of the talk about Family this time feels very hollow as compared to the previous 2 films.
And so that was the Fate of the Furious a weaker entry this time that is really only worth it for the long time fans of the series, 2 out of 5.
