Review of Fast X

Fast X (2023)
8/10
Sit back, switch your brain off and have a great time
17 May 2023
Admittedly I hadn't seen of these 'Fast' movies in a long time, but I'm not crazy am I - the cast wasn't always this strong, was it? There is a truly insane lineup of stars in this movie, and somehow the movie finds a way to give every one of them a purpose.

Jason Momoa as the bad guy is worth mentioning as being terrific. He looked like he had a lot of fun with the role. It seemed like he was given a lot of leeway to do as he pleased and he used it wisely. He actually gave me a lot of 'Joker' vibes.

The film is long at 2 hours and 21 minutes, but it's a rare time when I felt the film could absolutely justify it. For one thing the pacing is incredible and time really does fly by. For another thing there is so much going on and so many cast members who need time to do their thing that it was absolutely necessary. Actually the fact they were able to cut the run time down to only this was an accomplishment.

The action scenes and the story are as outrageous as we have come to expect from this series. It's at the point now where you simply have to sit back, switch your mind off and enjoy the ride. And to be honest it's pretty easy to do with this film. I had a great time. 8/10.
