The eighth instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise action series starring Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriquez and Jason Statham provided more thrills than most anticipated.
It turned out to be a Good Friday for Ster Kinekor Zimbabwe as the premiere sold out in all their cinemas across Harare.
Being the first Fast & Furious movie not featuring Paul Walker, who passed away in a car crash in 2015 the odds were against the cast to provide something more intriguing than Furious 7 provided.
The movie did just that.
As news started filtering in from Ster Kinekor that Sam Levy Cinema had sold out and enthusiasts were being directed to either Westage or 105, i knew the expectation was high on the shoulders of the new director F. Gary Gray (Straight Out of Compton)
To think that its been like 16 years and we still are hooked up to a movie built on a simple story of fast cars and the importance of a family is just but intriging.
Here is what you can expect.
Dom (Vin Diesel) goes rogue and betray the very family foundations which were the glue that stuck them together. But knowing how important family is to Dom, there is a very good reason why he would do that.
There is a new a family,probably one that’s more important to him that caused him to betray his other family and go to work for Cipher (Charlize Theron)
Cipher, is a hacker with an evil appetite to hack nuclear plant and destroy governments, she has something on Dom.
Things sprung into action with Dom and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) enjoying their honeymoon in Cuba, they bumped into their cousin whose car is about to be resposses for a debt, Dom intervened and asked to race for the cancellation of the debt.
This is the only scene that provides us with a proper car race,with the otyher roles being high speed chases.
the roles of Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris are somewhat reduced in this instalment but its encouraging how sworn enemies Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) are forced by circumstances to work together.
What follows are spectacular stunts never seen before in Fast and Furious movie. Watch out for the scene when Cipher hacks every self-driving car in the city to cause unprecedented mayhem.
The movie is showing at all Ster Kinekor Cinemas and you better be Fast to catch It.
