After marrying Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom (Vin Diesel) goes rogue and helps the nefarious Cipher (Charlize Theron) to take over the world using nuclear weapons. Dom's crew members, namely, Letty, Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Chris Bridges), Luke (Dwayne Johnson) join Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) and Eric (Scott Eastwood with their fast cars to try to defeat Cipher in hopes of saving the world.

      Anyone looking for a movie with a smart screenplay, plausibility, soul, depth, warmth, good acting or a suspenseful plot should look elsewhere. Shallowness can be fun, though, and, for some of the film, director F. Gary Gray does offer thrilling action sequences, eye candy and slick cinematography that provide visceral entertainment. However, around the 90 minute mark, the film starts to become tedious and overstays its welcome while the entertaining element gradually wanes. A chase on the ice in Iceland, for instance, goes on for too long. The comic relief involving cute baby who Deckard (Jason Statham) rescues while fighting off the bad guys gets repeated over and over until it's no longer funny nor amusing.

      Did screenwriter Chris Morgan assume that the audience suffers short term memory loss? Out of all of the actors and actresses, Helen Mirren appears to be having the most fun out of everyone in her very small role as a mysterious woman named Magdalene. If only the rest of the characters were lively as Magdalene, this would have been a much more invigorating film. Instead, at a running time of 2 hour and 16 minutes, The Fate of the Furious is a mindless, shallow, loud and overlong B-movie masquerading as an A-movie.
