Film Review – Fast X

In 2021’s “F9,” the “Fast and the Furious” saga managed to drive cars into space. In any other series, this would be the height of absurdity, but this franchise is basically defined by its ridiculousness, hoping to entertain the seemingly indefatigable fanbase with an escalating level of cartoonishness. “Fast X” doesn’t go into orbit, but it does manage to achieve a similar kind of ludicrousness, with director Louis Leterrier (“The Transporter,” “Grimsby”) out to generate a 141-minute-long wall of noise with the feature, keeping the action coming with the latest sequel, which isn’t a complete picture, basically here to assemble the “Fast and the Furious” avengers for one last ride (sure) in 2025. This is a Part 1 of sorts, but fans have already seen most of what “Fast X” has to offer, as the endeavor is basically a recycling facility, delivering the same story beats, same car-fu, and same stakes, only here the mission is to pump up the faithful so they’ll buy another ticket in two years.
