Back on track: A delicious JasonMomoa saves FASTX from furiously speeding off into numbness. TheFastSaga
"Fast X" -- ★ ★ ★ Fans and critics may disagree over when exactly the"Fast & Furious" franchise jumped the shark, but there is only one correct answer: When the Pontiac Fiero went into space.
"Fast X" reaches into the fifth movie -- 2011's"Fast Five" -- for the seeds to tell a new story. In a memorable moment five movies ago, Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto wrecked a bad guy and his team on a bridge in Rio de Janeiro. Little did we know then, but that bad guy had a son who survived and now, years later, vows vengeance. That's it. That's the plot.
He is half Joaquin Phoenix from"The Joker" and half Jack Sparrow from"Pirates of the Caribbean." Momoa has a penchant for planning explosions and then standing on a high spot and throwing his arms wide like Christ the Redeemer as the blast wave hits. The film sags as soon as he's not in it. At the center is the always-sleeveless Diesel, who keeps getting exposed as a truly terrible actor, one who evidently only attended the Brooding 101 seminar in drama school. The filmmakers usually just prop him up in front of a wall of family photos and he stares at them intently."I only care about protecting the people that I love," he will growl.
