Our Score

Franchises are funny things. The popular opinion is that the majority of films on at your local multiplexes are part of franchises, cinematic universes, sequels or reboots. Whereas the Bond series has evolved by having multiple actors playing the titular spy and a soft reboot, Fast & Fuiours franchise has evolved from its ‘cop on the street action/thriller’ origins, to being stupidly fun and very over the top entries which channel heist and spy capers. It’s safe to say this particular franchise has evolved while maintaining its aesthetics, and doesn’t look like it will run out of gas any time soon.

As such we have another entry titled Fast and Furious 8 / The Fate of the Furious / The Fateful 8 / Vin Diesel’s Driving Dchool Vol. 8. As you can tell I can’t take this review too seriously, and you shouldn’t take this film seriously either. I cannot stress how silly, cheesy and, as such, enjoyable this film is. [Read more…]

New Fast & Furious 8 Trailer – Is Vin Diesel really going against his crew?

9th March 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We still can’t believe that Vin Diesel is really going to go against the crew he’s bonded with over the last five movies, but the promos so far for Fast & Furious 8 certainly suggest that (don’t be shocked if in the actual movie it turns out not to be quite as clear cut as that). Now a new trailer has arrived, which wants to show that while they might be shaking up the formula a little, there’ll still be a lot of OTT action.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell. The series welcomes newcomers Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood and Oscar® winner Helen Mirren.

‘Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.’

The movie will be in cinemas in April. [Read more…]

Fast & Furious 8 Super Bowl Spot – Back into the world of OTT cars and action

6th February 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I don’t know why we get boring Fast & Furious names in the UK, but sadly we’re just getting Fast & Furious 8, while in the US it’ll be the more interesting The Fate Of The Furious. The give us a new taste, as Super Bowl spot has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘On the heels of 2015’s Fast & Furious 7, one of the fastest movies to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history and the sixth-biggest global title of all time, comes the newest chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time: Fast & Furious 8.

‘Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.

‘From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.

‘For Fast & Furious 8, Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell. In addition to Theron, the series welcomes newcomers Scott Eastwood and Oscar® winner Helen Mirren. The film is directed by F.

Fast & Furious 8 Trailer – Vin Diesel betrays his family, naughty boy

12th December 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

One of the key things in the Fast & Furious movies is that whatever side of the law they’re on, loyalty between the crew is paramount. However, things are in for a bit of a change, with Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto being forced to turn on his ‘family’ by Charlize Theron’s villainous Cipher.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘On the heels of 2015’s Fast & Furious 7, one of the fastest movies to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history and the sixth-biggest global title of all time, comes the newest chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time: Fast & Furious 8.

First Look At Charlize Theron As A Fast & Furious 8 Baddie

21st May 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fast-and-furious-8-charlize-theronA few months ago it was revealed that Charlize Theron was turning villain once more, this time as the bad guy in the latest Fast & Furious movie. Now she’s on the set and the first picture of her in the movie has been released, via Twitter. It has to be said though, it sure looks like she’s been visited by the airbrush fairies.

Not a vast amount if known about her character, beyond the fact she’s called Cipher and likes ‘classic rock’ and ‘giant freaking guns’. It’s also known she’s out to destroy Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), and the rest of the Fast & Furious crew. The last couple of movies have focused on the emnity between the good guys and the Shaw brothers (Luke Evans and Jason Statham), but it’s not known if Cipher is linked to them.

Dwayne Johnson, Kurt Russell, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Scott Eastwood and Kristofer Hivju star. [Read more…]

Scott Eastwood Joins Vin Diesel & Co. In Furious 8

11th April 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

scott-eastwood2For the past few years Scott Eastwood has seemed on the verge of making it big, but while he’s often been in the mix for major roles, he’s often failed to make the final cut. For example he will be seen in a small role in this summer’s Suicide Squad, but be missed out on several other massive Marvel and DC roles he was up for.

However, now he’s set to join one of the biggest franchises on the planet, as he’ll star in Furious 7, alongside fellow newcomer, Charlize Theron. While Theron will be the main villain, there’s little info on who Scott will play, but he did reveal on Instagram, ‘I can’t say too much, but I get to play a new character who operates under Kurt Russell in the movie, which is incredible, because Kurt was a total childhood hero of mine growing up. Very much looking forward to learning a thing or two from such an original and cool guy.’

In Furious 7, Russell’s Mr. Nobody was a mysterious government agent who does a deal with Vin Diesel and co. to help them if they help him locate a dangerous hacking device. It sounds like Eastwood will be involved with the same organisation.

The likes of Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson will all returns. Shooting kicks off soon for an April 2017 release.
