Ranking all 11 works of the blockbuster series "Wild Speed"! The latest version of the saga is finally at its climax! ※note! Contains spoilers.
7th place: “Fast and Furious Fireboost” (23) Director: Louis Leterrier 141 minutes
An unprecedented blockbuster that becomes more festive towards the end of the series.
The 10th film was beset by major troubles following the accidental death of Paul Walker in ``SKY MISSION,'' in which Justin Lin, who was supposed to be re-invited to complete the series, left the project a week into filming. However, a week later, Louis Leterrier, known for his work on the ``Transporter'' series, was appointed as the new director. Despite the unusual circumstances of continuing filming while the director was being selected, we managed to complete the film.
Going back to the fifth film, ``MEGA MAX,'' which was a major turning point in the series, the idea of Dante (Jason Momoa), the son of the Brazilian drug lord Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), who was defeated at that time, coming for revenge. , it's a fitting plot to follow on from the conclusion of the series.
However, perhaps due to the aforementioned director change, it is difficult to find a coherent story in this film, as the big action scenes are just strung together organically. The inconsistency that makes it hard to tell whether Dante is a terrifying demon of revenge or actually just a fun criminal who just wants Dominique and the others to bite him adds to the inconsistency.
However, Dante, played by Jason Momoa, is one of the best trickster villains in the series, and Momoa has so much fun playing the role that you can't help but root for him over Dominic. John Cena also injects the positivity he gained from The Wrestler days into the role of Jacob, and in a sharp change from his previous work, he enthusiastically puts in the uncle-nephew skit with Little Brian (Leo Abello Berry).
Letellier has said that he wanted to bring back the realistic car racing of the first film to the series, but the absurdity of the film, such as filming an actual gigantic ball (with a neutron bomb inside) rolling around in the streets of Rome, is sky-high. . Although there are few people who expect logic from ``Waispi'', it may be the movie with the most ridiculous situations in the series.
However, Giselle reappears in the last scene! Agent Hobbs, also known as Dwayne Johnson, who declared that he would never return, makes a reappearance! There is no choice but to laugh and get excited when the two surprises hit "Kita Kita Kita!" It will be interesting to see how things will go together in the future, and it is a movie that has been pushed through with great force that makes us realize that ``Waispi'' is an entertainment that can be enjoyed both inside and out.
