Why not start by reading my review of “Furious 7?” It basically sums up this sequel, except that “7” was better. There’s another world domination villain (Charlize Theron) and the gang races around the world to save the day (with the exception of one character twist) . The action starts in Cuba (a great old-school mano a mano contest), moves to New York City (an incredible assault of autonomous vehicles) and finishes in the frozen plains of Russia (under the ice and over the top). Meanwhile, the baby on a plane adds some moments of “awwww.” There’s still plenty of fun, so fans of the series won’t be disappointed. Still, this one is more talky, more about the mission and less about fast cars (and the stunts aren’t as cool).
I bet you didn’t go back and read that review, so here’s one last chance.
(3.5 / 5)
