That’s in no way a complaint, because watching Dominic Toretto drive an enflamed car backwards, New York City being terrorized by thousands of remote controlled cars and the gang outdriving a rogue submarine on ice is exactly what makes The Fast And The Furious films so damn watchable and entertaining.
F Gary Gray made this admission to me at the start of the month when I sat down to speak to the director about The Fate Of The Furious.
The Rock and Jason Statham’s bout of fisticuffs is actually a perfect addition to the film’s copious amount of other action sequences, which primarily involve automobiles.
At the same time, though, it’s always nice to mix it up a little.
