9th place: "Fast and Furious ICE BREAK" (17) Director: F. Gary Gray 149 minutes


A surprise edition in which Dominic, the reliable older brother, betrays his friends.


The 8th regular work in the series, with the spin-off "Super Combo" in between. The blockbuster direction that escalated with the release of ``MEGA MAX'' is filled with flashy scenes that will leave you gaping and wondering, ``We've come this far!''


“Dawn of the Dead Time,” where a large number of remote-controlled driverless cars rush into New York, the first filming location for “Wispi,” is almost science fiction (the scene where a stunt driver dutifully disguised as a car seat drives a real car is funny), and the climax It has come a long way from the first film, which was a car action movie about a group of cheap robbers, with a deadly battle with a nuclear submarine and a parallel scene in Jason Statham's ``cradle battle'' inside an airplane.


This time, the person standing in front of Team Toretto is Dominic, the team's spiritual pillar. The idea of ​​betraying one's comrades and fleeing to the evil cyber-terrorist Cypher (Charlize Theron) is a pretty far-fetched idea, but in the eighth film, it's acceptable to be so outrageous. In fact, I'm encouraged by the production team's willingness to stay ahead of fans' expectations and not stay in the safe zone.


Team Toretto has now become an ally of justice engaged in a mission to save the world, but just as the giant monster Godzilla once made a baby turn from villain to good, this is inevitable considering the series' increasing popularity. Maybe it was a change.


However, one thing that I am not completely satisfied with is the treatment of Deckard Shaw, played by Statham. Shaw first appears at the end of ``EURO MISSION'' as the older brother of ``EURO MISSION''s enemy Owen. He is the enemy who killed Han in Tokyo, attacked Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and sent him to the hospital, and relentlessly targeted the lives of Dominic and his friends. I wouldn't mind having them fight together in ``Yesterday's enemy is today's friend'', and the aforementioned ``cradle battle'' is the best action scene that could only have been made possible by Statham's physical ability. However, I can't accept that Dominic and Shaw are shaking hands as if Han's death never happened.


Dominic has always cherished his friends as family above all else, so this incident caused a great deal of controversy among his fans and led to the ``Justice For Hang'' movement on the internet. Furthermore, screenwriter Chris Morgan declared, ``Justice will be served for Han,'' and Statham even said, ``Shaw has made mistakes that can never be made up for.'' Furthermore, he left the film after ``EURO MISSION.'' The fact that it was the trigger for former coach Justin Lin to decide to return shows the gravity of the situation.


Furthermore, it is a shame that Elena (Elsa Pataky), who was a semi-regular character, was killed off for the convenience of the story. I believe that the new policy of respecting all characters involved in the series led to the revival of the series after ``MEGA MAX'', but after ``EURO MISSION'' Elena became a character that the production team could use conveniently. I feel like that. Well, since it's about ``Waispi'', I wouldn't be surprised if someone started saying things like ``He was actually alive!''
