The Fate of the Furious
It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time for another Fast & Furious movie.
It's the franchise that will only go onward and upward in spite of everyone pretending it's below them. This is not only one of the most successful franchises today, it is by far the most necessary Hollywood franchise we have. It is precious. The perfect foil for the current model of mid-credits and post-credits nonsense. I could go on but I wrote a whole editorial about this in 2014 and you can read that instead.
In this eighth installment, the family faces its toughest challenge yet - the apparent betrayal of their fearless leader, Dominic Toretto.
The real question on everyone's mind is if this franchise can survive without Paul Walker. Thematically, this movie is taking that question head on by having the team go through a similar loss and see if they can find their way through it. My personal theory is that this franchise will not only survive, but thrive.
The Fate of the Furious is rated PG-13 for prolonged sequences of violence and destruction, suggestive content, and language.
And that's it! No movie was man enough to go head to head with this one this weekend. It will conquer all.
