Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson, who I still believe will be nominated for an Oscar someday) leads a mission in Germany to steal back a device that can cripple a large city’s power grid. (I honestly think they do this so that they can at least say on paper, “See, this is still a car racing movie at heart, folks.”) But while in Cuba, Dom is approached by the notorious hacker, Cipher (Charlize Theron), who has information she uses against Dom in order to get him to turn against his team. By Pitch Perfect 4, this is what the characters in that movie should be doing.)Īs always in the recent chapters, The Fate of the Furious opens with a car race that has almost nothing to do with the rest of the film – this time set in Havana. (I’m now convinced that every movie franchise, once it hits its fourth or fifth movie, should just convert into a knowingly wink-wink* movie about all its characters becoming some sort of secret espionage team. Now they are a globetrotting espionage super team. I’m definitely one of these people who has great appreciation for the more recent chapters of the Fast and Furious saga, as opposed to the movies that were about car racing. Like, how did it escalate to this? What has to happen in someone’s life to go from a person who races cars and steals DVD players to a person who has to fight a submarine with a fast car? Oh, yes, the gang also fights a submarine in The Fate of the Furious. Here’s a fun experiment, right before you see The Fate of the Furious in theaters (who are you kidding, of course you’re going) watch the original The Fast and the Furious, ostensibly a movie just about car racing and stolen DVD players, then think about that while Dom (Vin Diesel) is racing a heat-seeking missile. In The Fate of the Furious, Dominic Toretto races a heat-seeking missile. ![]()
