Fast & Furious 10, the latest adrenaline-fueled entry in the iconic franchise, has revved up a staggering $700 million in global box office earnings. The saga continues from the high-octane events of its predecessor, Fast and Furious 9, bringing back our indomitable hero, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel), and his motley crew as they collide head-on with their most formidable nemesis to date, the menacing Dante, portrayed by Jason Momoa (Our beloved Aquaman).

Bolstering its cinematic roster, the film showcases an ensemble cast featuring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Charlize Theron, and the unmistakable Jason Momoa, all under the masterful guidance of director Louis Leterrier, a seasoned hand at navigating this thrilling saga.

Movie Review

Fast & Furious 10 isn’t just a movie; it’s a visceral experience that every franchise enthusiast must embark upon. The story hurtles forward, never easing its grip on your attention. It is a whirlwind of spectacular action sequences, punctuated with heartwarming, gut-tickling moments, and witty humor. The ensemble cast excels, with Jason Momoa’s magnetic presence adding an exhilarating dimension to the franchise.

To relish this action spectacle, one must stow away their skepticism. The action is larger than life, detached from the realms of reality. Witness cars traversing a collapsing bridge, or a magnetic rescue mission from an airborne vehicle; it’s a wild and imaginative journey. These sequences are sheer entertainment, but they dare not be held under the scrutiny of real-world physics.

Fast & Furious 10 echoes the pace of “The Fate of the Furious,” where Jason Momoa’s villainy takes center stage, while Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto remains the unwavering defender of family values. The ending, while action-packed, leaves questions unanswered, creating an air of incompleteness. Dom’s separation from the group following the Rome incident adds an intriguing layer to the narrative.

Eagle-eyed fans will delight in nods to the franchise’s history, including a heartwarming tribute to Paul Walker, the return of familiar faces, and a pulse-pounding chase through the streets of Brazil. 

Some memorable moments for me in Fast X

Jason Momoa commands the screen with a performance that sets the bar for captivating villains in the franchise’s storied history. His immersion in the role adds layers of intensity and intrigue to the film, leaving audiences mesmerized.

Then there’s the brief, but oh-so-delightful appearance of Jason Statham, an action star beloved by many. His magnetic presence and boundless energy are an absolute joy to behold, making us yearn for more of his on-screen charisma. Alas, his cameo was far too short, leaving us craving an extended dose of Statham’s action prowess.

Adding to the star-studded roster, Brie Larson, our beloved Captain Marvel, graces us with her presence in a smaller role. Her scenes and dialogues offer a refreshing perspective, leaving her fans delighted and wanting more.

Charlize Theron, another timeless star, also makes her mark in the film. It’s remarkable how she manages to defy the aging process, consistently impressing with her enduring talent and beauty.

The sequence at the Hoover Dam is nothing short of heart-stopping, as cars defy gravity, careening down the side of this colossal structure. It’s an awe-inspiring visual feast that will leave you breathless, and the sheer audacity of it is sure to quicken your pulse. While undeniably incredible, it’s worth noting that, like much of the movie, this breathtaking scene exists firmly in the realm of fantasy.

My verdict:

Fast & Furious 10 is a captivating and exhilarating cinematic joyride, custom-made for fans of the franchise. Yet, if you seek a tether to reality, you may leave the theater wanting. Strap in for the ride of a lifetime, and let this epic saga take you on a high-octane journey where the laws of physics take a back seat to pure entertainment.
