FAMILY!!!!!
That is essentially the plot of the entire franchise, however family, while omnipresent in the dialogue and the overarching theme, is very much not present in this chapter. Yes we see Dom's son and Mia and Jacob and their mum, and Shaw and Shaw's mum, and Dante and Dante's dad (retconnnnnn), and Elena's sister (remember Elena who Dom had a son with but that is never ever mentioned afterwards and I guess isn't really part of the family?)... Next thing you know Giselle and Han will reveal they did have a child together but they hid it from the gang but now the child is in danger and the child is part of the family so the cars need to go vrum vrum and the guns need to go bang bang to go rescue the endangered progeny.
All of that to say that in this 10th installment, the family is somewhat not very present. It's a bit like nobody knew what to do with the ever-growing number of family members because of course Dom can sort it all out himself (because HERO) and so they're all just scattered around the globe doing absolutely sweet-nothing while Dom and Dante pulverize every continent they step on (Bombs go Boom Boom ).
Jason Momoa is the best thing about this film by not an inch but a quarter of a mile. His flamboyant take on Dante's character is sure to steal every scene he's in while Vin Diesel is over there trying to act like he's in Hamlet or smth.
John Cena was actually pretty decent too. A breath of fresh air in this over the top franchise that takes itself a bit too seriously while defying all the laws of physics. Annoyingly he doesn't make it or does he? If Giselle's cameo tells us anything is that nobody ever properly dies in the Fast universe. So I'm expecting a Jacob's resurrection in Fast XII; return of the Jacob.
