The Fate of the Furious
Rent & Buy
When a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of crime and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before.
What critics thought
Critics were genuinely split on the eighth Fast and Furious installment — enthusiasts found the franchise still running on creative fuel, while detractors saw a film struggling under the weight of tonal incoherence and narrative bloat. The central question was whether Dom's heel turn and the franchise's escalating absurdity still felt energizing or had finally crossed into self-parody. Audiences were considerably more forgiving than critics.
“Most franchises, after eight films, are feeling a twinge of exhaustion, but this one has achieved a level of success—and perpetual kinetic creative energy—that's a testament to its commercial/cultural/demographic resonance.”
Owen Gleiberman·Variety
“It's unlikely that devotees will consider The Fate of the Furious one of the stronger entries in the series. Still, the filmmakers and actors are clearly dedicated to making a quality product, avoiding the complacency that often plagues action sequels.”
J. R. Kinnard·PopMatters
“Moments after Dom has gone rogue and apparently wants to kill them, they're making jokes. As they're racing through the streets of New York City or skidding along the ice in Russia, killing bad guys and narrowly avoiding getting killed themselves, they're crackin' wise. Even within this ludicrous universe, it's jarring to hear these supposedly smart folks, who refer to themselves as 'family,' acting like idiots who don't seem to care if they live or die, or if their friends survive.”
