OUR RATING: ★★☆☆☆
Story:
Action adventure sequel, also known as Fast & Furious 10 (2023), directed by Louis Leterrier. After Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro in Fast Five (2011), they didn’t know that Reyes son, Dante (Jason Momoa), witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price. Dante’s plot will scatter Dom’s family from LA to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London, and from Portugal to Antarctica. New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own son, Brian (Leo Abelo Perry), is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.

Best Quotes
Hernan Reyes: [to Dante] There is nothing a father wouldn’t do for his son. Your mother never understood this. She looked at you and saw a monster. I saw potential.
Hernan Reyes: [to Dante] I brought you here today. Was it generosity? Love? No. It’s so what I built doesn’t die with me. So my legacy can live on, because a father and his son is everything.
Dante: I’ll kill Dominic Toretto. I’ll kill them all.
Hernan Reyes: Kill them? You’d show them mercy? No, my son. When suffering is owed, never accept death as a payment. Make Toretto suffer.
Dominic Toretto: B, no one starts at the finish line. You got to have faith. Remember today’s lesson. Find the line, feel the car, and let it fly. It’s okay to be afraid. Sometimes fear can be the best teacher.

Abuelita: As I look out at this wonderful family, I am filled with so much pride. The kind of pride that my son, your father, would have enjoyed if he were here. I know that this road has been very hard, and also not fair. And yet here you are, despite all of the odds, building this magnificent leg… It is a legacy that will go on for generations. No one can take it away. Not now. Not ever. To familia.
Roman: [to Ramsey] See, what I really need is I need your brain.
Tej: Words Roman Pearce has never said.
Roman: We’re talking about Rome. Rome. Roman. Come on, man. That’s like planning a heist in my backyard.
Tej: Only thing you know about Rome is “ro-man” noodles.

Dominic Toretto: I mean, that’s the whole point, isn’t it? Pass it down. Each generation better than the last.
Han: That’s true.
Dominic Toretto: That’s fatherhood.
Han: Come a long way from the two of us popping gas trucks in the DR, huh?
Dominic Toretto: We sure did.
Han: Those were some tough times.
Dominic Toretto: Those were some great times.
Abuelita: [to Dominic] Hold us in your heart, and you will never lose your way.

Letty: That’s not going to happen again.

Cipher: I’m as surprised as you are.
Dominic Toretto: I’ve imagined killing you a thousand times. Last time, there was six inches of reinforced glass, guns, guards. I couldn’t reach you then. Now I can.
Cipher: You’re going to want to hear my last words.
Cipher: I met the devil tonight. Honestly, I always thought it was me. So that was kind of disappointing.
Dante: They say when you’re facing death, your life flashes before your eyes. Are they right?
Dominic Toretto: Before you bleed out on my couch, you might want to explain why you’re here.
Cipher: I’m here because the enemy of my enemy is you.
Dante: I am a man with no name. Heir to nothing. And I’m here for the same reasons you are. Dominic Toretto.
Cipher: You want to kill Dom? Line’s around the block.
Dante: No, no, no. Never accept death when suffering is owed. But I need your help. Your toys, and your tech. All your boys.

Dante: [to Cipher] You want to control the world. I just want to punish it.
Cipher: It is hard finding good help these days.
Cipher: [to Dominic] There’s a war coming. The sides are being chosen. And everyone you love will be destroyed.
Dominic Toretto: [to Little Brian] Son, you and I will finish that driving lesson. It’s a promise. No matter what happens. And I always keep my promises.

Roman: Romey-Rome’s in the building. You see me shining, baby. We on my mission now.
Tej: Yeah, we all know that this is your mission. Because nobody else on Earth would put Han in an Alfa.
Han: [referring to the Alfa Romeo] What this old girl lacks in horsepower, she makes up for in agility.
Ramsey: Oh, that’s right. I know stuff now.
Tej: Will you marry me?
Ramsey: That’s all it took?
Roman: Cue Tiny Tej.
Tej: Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Tiny Tej? What are you talking about, Roman?
Tej: [to Roman] Just so you know, Tiny Tej’s brain? Still bigger than yours.

Ramsey: It’s a bomb!
Roman: What happens if it goes off?
Tej: What do you mean, “What happens if it goes off?” The Seven Hills of Rome will be down to two and a half! City-wide devastation, countless lives lost. You know, the thing bombs do.
Dante: Alright, dorks. What are we blowing up? What? The Vatican? Wow. Okay. I’ll do it. But you guys are going to hell.
Little Nobody: We have to stop that truck.
Dante: Sorry, Captain America. Can’t let you do that.

Letty: The truck’s about to go over the hill!
Han: We have to crash into it.
Roman: We have to what?!
Dante: Bad news, Dom. I’m back in business. You got thirty seconds to save Rome.
Roman: You’ve done everything you could.
Dominic Toretto: Not everything.

Dante: Through your suffering, I’ll fulfill my destiny. Come find me. Your pain has just begun. I’ll see you soon, Dom.
Tess: And what do you think happened in Italy?
Aimes: Oh, sightseeing, eating bucatini, stealing a twenty kiloton bomb.
Aimes: Los Angeles, 2001. Humble roots. Local kids. Street racers who became hijackers. Graduated to high-speed smuggling. Mobile jailbreaks. Train robberies. If it could be done in a car, they did it. If it violates the laws of God and gravity, they did it twice.
Tess: You write that yourself?
Aimes: That’s their MO. To corrupt law enforcement. Brian O’Conner. Elena Neves. Luke Hobbs. Everyone becomes family. It’s like a cult with cars. Even Tess’s dear old dad.
Tess: So we’re all just a barbecue and a beer away from corruption?
