The Fate of the Furious
Vin Diesel returns for the eighth installment of the Fast and Furious series, this time directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton). New cast members include Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones) and Scott Eastwood.
Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressA dazzling action spectacle that proves this franchise is far from out of gas.
Time Out
pressA soap opera that just happens to cost millions of dollars and feature souped-up sports cars jumping over submarines.
The Guardian
pressThings race along at such a ferocious lick you scarcely have time to question the moments of incongruity (chiefly, how can so many supercars be also somehow explosion-retardant).

Entertainment Weekly
pressThankfully, it's frequently also much funnier and lighter on its feet than previous outings, and a lot of that credit goes to Statham and Johnson, whose love-hate bromance feels like the real core of the movie.
Collider
pressIf you've spent the last sixteen years investing in the family and their ragtag tapestry, you might find yourself a little disappointed.
And even then, the car lovers really don't have too much to look at. At some point in time the film the Fast & Furious cast have transitioned from an outlaw car racing crew, to some sort of elite tactical black ops squad capable of taking down paramilitary types with ease.

I don't know exactly why, but I've come to love this franchise over the last few years, despite, or perhaps because of, the ridiculous plot contrivances that spiral into lunacy with each instalment. They're live action cartoons, specifically live action Roadrunner cartoons. And this latest episode is no exception. They missed the opportunity to paint "ACME"...
