![]() ![]() And in this eighth episode to the massively popular action series about cars and outlaws, the crew garishly and proudly revs a new souped-up engine with a fresh tank of NOS for an extra boost of silly melodramatic fun. But as every entry in the series continues to prove, the creators top each successive installment by upping the danger and drama to absurdly over-the-top heights. ![]() Dom (Vin Diesel reprising the role he's arguably best known for) and his crew are caught in another espionage conspiracy involving a highly-talented criminal that only they can defeat because of some casual plot convenience. Admittedly, much like the characters in each movie, the filmmakers are good at renovating a familiar body (formula) while detailing it with the same theme of family. ![]() But as The Fate of the Furious demonstrates, the fuel running this engine is far from spent and there is still plenty more to burn in the tank.
