Fast X Review
‘Fast X’ finds the fun in the franchise again thanks to higher stakes and Jason Momoa. A winning, funny turn from Momoa as the big villain proves the highlight in a ‘Fast’ entry that feels reinvigorated after the maudlin last movie.
‘Fast X’ opening in theaters on May 19th, is the latest entry in the sprawling, wildly successful franchise that begun in much more humble fashion as a take on ‘Point Break’s undercover lawman genre in 2001 and his since spiraled into a bombastic action franchise revolving around the endlessly repeated theme of family. After a muted, disappointing entry with ‘F9: The Fast Saga’ in 2021 (which nevertheless did good business), it’s a relief to report that fans of the franchise, led by star/producer Vin Diesel, is a return to the ridiculous, stunt-heavy, common sense-free form that we’ve come know and appreciate.
