If 2015’s Furious 7 was a bit too
reserved and subdued—what with cars parachuting from cargo planes and leaping
skyscraper to skyscraper—don’t worry, The Fate of the Furious,
also known as the eighth Fast and Furious movie (AKA #F8),
rectifies that with gleeful abandon. It walks a fine line between sheer idiocy and
inspired brilliance, often leaping back and forth between the two, and
represents a marked drop in quality in the franchise for the first time in
almost a decade.
