F9: The Fast Saga's Most Ridiculous, Albeit Entertaining Yet
Justin Lin's F9: The Fast Saga, or, as it was originally titled simply F9 (known internationally as Fast & Furious 9), the penultimate installment in the series about fast automobiles had a tough job to do: Out-crazy the previous eight movies in the franchise, which started to get ludicrously (pun intended) over-the-top, around the fifth installment, Fast Five, which Lin also helmed. By having two of its most beloved characters go to space in a car attached to a rocket, among other antics, the film overwhelmingly achieves that task. Is the film entertaining? With its series of increasingly more unrealistic set pieces, Vin Diesel's characteristic one-liners, and a surprising amount of heart and story, of course it is. However, even with the inclusion of virtually every character from the previous films in the franchise, the space travel, and the inclusion of Brian's (played by Paul Walker before he tragically passed away) storyline, it's still somewhat forgettable, however decent it is for its genre of thrill-seeking, race car-driving adrenaline junkies breaking law.
