F9: The Fast Saga

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writer/Producer/Director Justin Lin’s F9: The Fast Saga joins the Action-Film-As-Cartoon genre with the most improbable action scenes ever, including shooting an airplane with two passengers into space to destroy a satellite…and getting them back!

 Of course, some of this Disneyland onscreen is fun, but seeing Vin Diesel walking around with a puffed-out chest looking for its bra and a mouth pursed like he’s constantly chewing week-old sour pickles is not so much fun.                                                                                                                 

The film is “saved” by the women, especially Michelle Rodriquez, Jordana Brewster and Charlize Theron.

Of course, the ending strongly hints there will be an F10 and, possibly, beyond, but F9: The Fast Saga is not the best of the litter.

I give it only a 3.2 out of 5.
