Jason Statham also gets several cool action moments, but it's these two rivals' verbal sparring that proves even more ridiculously macho as their insults grow increasingly crude yet funny as the film proceeds.ĭirector F.

The hand-to-hand combat here is likewise over-the-top, especially Dwayne Johnson's bone-crunching brawling. But this whole sequence goes on for way too long, culminating in some truly logic-defying antics even by this series' admittedly low standards. If you ever wanted to see The Rock surf a torpedo or cars take on a nuclear sub then Fate of the Furious is the movie for you. (I hope Neil deGrasse Tyson one day explains the physics of how such a zany trap would actually play out.) The final act is essentially one prolonged chase across the ice in Russia. This auto-pilot assault is followed by the team's literal multi-prong effort to trap Dom's car. (The movie's opening race in Havana, meanwhile, gives 'car bomb' a whole new meaning.) The Manhattan sequence is the movie's most insane and effective action set-piece as Cipher's hackers commandeer waves of cars with auto-drive chips to become her unwitting drone army. The hunt for Dom takes them to New York City and Russia.
