FAST & FURIOUS 8 (2017)

Featuring: Vin Diesel; Charlize Theron; Dwayne Johnson

Director: F. Gary Gray

This remains to be one of my favorite action movie franchises. Even in its eighth guise it does not disappoint or fail to entertain. Sure, it is no pioneering masterpiece but then it was never intended to be any such. Non-stop unadulterated exhilarating fun is what it is.

This time round Dom (Vin Diesel) is forced by bad girl villain Cipher (Charlize Theron) to go up against his old team in order for her to get her pretty little hands on some nuclear missiles. The question is, will he betray his 'family' or will he find a way out of his predicament.

For this movie the whole familiar gang is back plus one or two new faces. The most notable new face however, is none other than that of dame Helen Mirren - and what a treat that is! Again, the story is put together quite intelligently with some interesting twists and turns but simple enough for any thirteen year old (age restriction for this film) to follow. And as expected the action and special effects are absolutely stunning. But for me the baby stole the show...

And that on its own elevates this movie to 4 out of 5 stars!
