The action is a mix of cartoonishly over-the-top and confusing nonsense where the obvious CG car stunts are shown in wide shots and easy to follow, but the choreographed fights are an incomprehensible mess of rapid-fire edits and fleeting camera movements.
#Hdr projects 5 review movie
When characters openly admit to their own miraculous indestructibility, the movie becomes nothing more than a 140-minute barrage of gonzo, trivially hollow visuals of souped-up cars catching other criminal comrades, giant drones nabbing a car jumping in midair and massively boosted magnets that always seem conveniently aimed for maximum damage.ĭirector Justin Lin returns to the franchise after a brief absence from the last two entries to work on a few television projects, and this latest installment definitely shows traces of that television influence. Yet, the filmmakers plainly desire for this ninth entry to be taken deadly serious in spite of Roman's (Tyrese Gibson) meta-commentary that is neither funny nor clever. Rather than giving fans another simple check-your-brain-at-the-door symphony of grinding metal and thunderous explosions, F9: The Fast Saga is a deafening dud the defies its own rules of believability. And in an action series that amounts to little more than a well-choreographed demolition derby, that is saying a heaping lot. It was bound to happen sooner or later that the Fast & Furious franchise would eventually jump the shark, or as in this case, swing from the cliffs.
