Look, its a Fast and the Furious film, you know what you are getting...
Bad writing -check
Clichés aplenty - check
Ludicrous plot - check
Ridiculous action set pieces - check
Enjoyment - you bet ya
If you enjoyed the previous instalments in the franchise, there's absolutely no reason why you won't like this one. It has all the trademarks of a Fast movie, and in many instances turns these up to 11 for this entry in the franchise. It's bigger, bolder, more outrageous, with plenty of action and some fantastic sequences involving the cars.
Charlize Theron was a nice addition to the cast, with probably the best performance in the film. The plot was very fun, following the theme of the last few instalments, which feel more like Bond/Mission Impossible style sprawling action blockbusters than mere drag racing flicks. I think this maybe had a better plot than some of the previous ones, with some good surprises and a semblance of character development thrown in there.
If you're a Fast & Furious fan or general action movie buff, grab the popcorn and stick on Fast 8 for a fun time.
