Dumb fun and best of the series

Rating: 4/10 (21 February 2016)

I had no enthusiasm for this film. None. I hadn't seen any F&F movies since Tokyo Drift, because I am the wrong type of person for these films. I like the action genre, sure, but this is an aggressively dumb franchise and I usually see Scorsese, Tarantino, Ridley Scott or Spielberg films. But I had no idea that a movie where people drive cars out of an aeroplane, drive a car from one of the Etihad Towers into the other and the Rock breaks his cast off his arm by flexing his muscles would actually make me all emotional at the end. In a year stuffed with action films, this was actually one of the better ones too. Yes, the laws of physics are raped about as much as that A-Team movie, but I'll give any dumb movie a pass if it delivers on the action.
Well played, movie.
