There are many movies to define the concept of a popcorn film, but none may be more apparent then that of
The Fast and the Furious franchise. Since 2001 this action series has taken the concept of cars and heist to a whole different level with its ridiculous sense of direction. However despite its blunt appearance, The Fast and the Furious has found a way to be both engaging and entertaining; which has been apparent in the recent entries of the series. In 2015 it seemed like things could have come to a complete stop with 2 with the seventh installment,
Furious 7, but that was not the case as the series races off again in the latest addition:
The Fate of the Furious. Directed by F.Gary Gray the eighth film in the franchise seeks to be a new beginning for Dom and the crew. The preview certainly lived to the series outrageous action but does
The Fate of the Furious rev up the series yet again, or does it find itself stalling?
The Fate of the Furious continues the story of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). While on his honeymoon with Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) Dom is confronted by a woman named Cipher (Charleze Theron) who forces the once criminal to work for her. After betraying his crew, Dom disappears and goes along with Cipher's scheme. With the help of Frank Petty (Kurt Russell) Letty, Luke Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and rest of the crew (Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Nathalie Emmanuel) have to track down Dom and stop Cipher; which is easier said than done as the group must enlist the help of once antagonist Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham).
