8 Films about cars, hijacks, robberies and family….What more could they do with this series? How about a heel turn? (As seen in the trailers). But as with all heel turns, if you are a WWE fan, there is motive. And there is a motive with Dom (Vin Diesel) that after knowing why he did it, he did it. There is a scene though in a trailer where his old team has him surrounded, and he basically flips and destroys their cars, but what if he would have severely injured them? Where would that turn then have taken this team?This series seems to amp up a little bit more each movie with the action and the stunts. From the bank vault in Fast 5, Tank and Plane in Fast 6 to the Submarine and wrecking ball here. It makes you wonder what they have left they can do for the next 2 films that are planned. With making $500 million plus on opening weekend, that basically assures there are going to be more.
This movie though was flat on the characters, and maybe that was a few of them trying to fill Paul Walker’s spot more. Tyrese got a little more physical in this with more than just his mouth. Vin’s character didn’t have that normal “bro” to play off of and with all the stuff going on with him and the Rock on set, you can see that void there. The interaction that was the best in the flick I thought was between Statham and the Rock. It would be fun to dive into those characters more, and maybe that’s where the sequels go.
I don’t know what more we can do with Dom’s character, and making him the focal point. Maybe it’s time he takes a backseat to Tyrese, Ludacris and the others to get a little more freshness into the series.
