Shaw (Jason Statham) returns to virtually steal the show with his blend of humour and capable physicality. You'll be treated to explosions, car crashes, missiles, gun fights and a lot of choreographed fist fights. If you follow the F&F movies for action, you'll find just as much here as in the past movies.
You'll still scratch your head at the preposterous nature of some of the circumstances the characters find themselves in, but this is part of the charm for someone who likes these movies. Unlike previous films that clumsily toyed with the concept, Fate of the Furious manages to deliver an emotionally charged story with a better- than-class script and action that doesn't take itself too seriously. Anyone who has followed the films knows that Dom is all about family - or his open definition of the word, and so this film plays off of the shocking behaviour of a man turning his back on family. Some lessons appear to have been learned along the way and while the plot line of the 8th film resembles something concocted by a pair of schoolboys playing with their dinky cars in the playground, it succeeds at many things that the previous films lacked. The 7th instalment of the fast and the furious was a mangasmic fantasy film with so many one-liners that the writers wore out the period button on their keyboards.
