REVIEW:
The reviews of the movie have mixed reactions. For over two decades, the Fast & Furious Franchise is delivering pretty much repetitive content with slight modifications.
The main team has stayed the same. Very few newer faces have joined the race.

This movie has numerous car chases, action scenes and explosions loaded with VFX. The plot basically is mindless and overloaded as usual.
Though Vin Diesel hasn’t received much appreciation for his role, Jason Momoa’s performance as the villain has been praised.
Jason Momoa has played his role as a comical-crazy villain. He is seeking revenge against Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew, for the death of his father and losing his family’s fortune.
