Directed by Louis Leterrier, “Fast X” follows Vin Diesel’s street racer Dom Toretto and crew as they confront a lethal opponent. In the process, they engage in many death and gravity-defying stunts. Jason Momoa plays the film’s antagonist Dante Reyes, the son of a drug lord who is seeking revenge for the loss of his family’s fortune from a prior heist in Rio de Janeiro. The ensemble cast includes a mix of familiar faces and newcomers to the family, including Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Statham, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron and Rita Moreno. Already, another sequel has been slated for release in 2025.

While the film performed at the higher end of box office projections —  it secured the second-biggest global opening weekend of the year following “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” — reviews were mixed.

“By now, this franchise is a well-oiled money machine, something between a feature-length car commercial (you’re gonna want to buy that electric DeLorean prototype) and a “don’t try this at home” public safety announcement,” Variety film critic Peter DeBruge wrote in his review. “Still, calling it the first part of a finale feels like little more than a marketing gimmick. While Hollywood’s highest-octane franchise shows no signs of slowing, it was crazy reckless to give the green light to such a clunker.”
