So, cars eh? And Family I gather. And Jason Mamoa's been here the whole time!
Back in Fast Five there was a new dangling plot thread and now we have this movie! Jason Mamoa is out to take down the Family and with all the characters we need to service, there are lot of scenes of people doing things, with some action sequences. With all that, it felt hard to actually establish much of a connection, because as well as different character scenes, there was also a vastly different tone. Dom was all serious stuff, Roman and co are all jocularity, and occasionally we get others as well with their own goings on.
The car stunts were as stupid as this series gets. And even though the movie itself calls out how they deny gravity, that doesn't make this any less nonsensical. [How is Dom's car still working after all that??]
Overall, I think this will work better when you binge watch them in order to actually remember who is who and how they connect, but things are left here set up for definitely another movie.
