Zu Beginn seines neuen Abenteuers ist Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) abgetaucht und genießt mit Letty und seinem Sohn Brian das ruhige Leben auf dem Land. Doch Dom und Letty wissen sehr genau: Ihr friedliches Idyll ist ständig in Gefahr. Diesmal ist Dom durch eine neue Bedrohung gezwungen, sich seiner Vergangenheit zu stellen, wenn er die Menschen, die er am meisten liebt, beschützen will. Und so bringt er noch einmal seine Crew zusammen, um eine weltweite, extrem gefährliche Verschwörung zu stoppen, deren Anführer der skrupelloseste Auftragskiller ist, dem sie bisher begegnet sind. Und das ist noch nicht alles: Es handelt sich dabei um Doms verloren geglaubten Bruder Jakob. (Universal Pictures Germany)

Fast & Furious hat sich interessant in eine schlechte Richtung entwickelt. Bei den vorigen Filmen habe ich oft gedacht: „Das kann doch nicht ernst gemeint sein!“ Ich fand die Doofheit amüsant. Diesmal habe ich aber mehrmals festgestellt: „Es ist wahrscheinlich wirklich ernst gemeint!“ Ich habe den Kopf geschüttelt, gegähnt und nicht verstanden, warum der Film eine Soapopera ist und wieso auch die Actionszenen so langweilig sind. Der zweitschlechteste Film der Serie (nach dem sechsten Teil).

In zwei Tagen habe ich mir die letzten beiden Teile angeschaut. Obwohl ich diese Filmreihe liebe, habe ich Fast & Furious 9 irgendwie unbewusst ignoriert. Ich habe mir diesen Film erst dann angeschaut, als ich Fast & Furious 10 im Kino sehen wollte. Leider handelt es sich wirklich um den schwächsten Teil der ganzen Reihe. Deshalb ist es gut, dass für den zehnten Teil ein anderer Regisseur ausgesucht wurde. Wenn man sich die beiden Teile in zwei Tagen anschaut, hat es einen kleinen Vorteil: Die Erklärung der Post-Credit-Szene in Fast & Furious 9.

Fast and Furious is a really interesting franchise that divides people into maybe three camps. The first group stopped watching after episodes 3 or 4, the second group started watching after episode 5 (for example me), and the third group watched the whole thing and either enjoy it or hate it as much as possible. I personally don't care much for cars, so I wasn't interested in the first episodes and only started to care when The Rock and other cast members came on the scene and, instead of racing, it went to over the top action and I have to say that I managed to enjoy all the episodes from 5 onwards. They're silly and fun movies with action I probably wouldn't see anywhere else and they have featured a lot of well known martial arts stars, so I definitely can't complain about that. I was curious about the 9th episode and it's without a doubt the weakest since the 5th. I feel like there's less of everything than I'm used to. For one thing, The Rock and Jason Statham are missing, and their absence is very noticeable. They’ve added John Cena and he is surprisingly the best thing about the whole movie, but it's not enough. Roman makes jokes less than usual, there are few personal fights, and even the over-the-top action is less for my taste (the truck caught my attention). On the other hand, the journey into space is uninteresting. There are no interesting locations, even the pretty women are gone, and there's more bullshit about family than in maybe three episodes combined. At least the music is still good, it brought some decent summer songs. I wasn't bored, it went relatively well, but it's a quality downgrade even for people who liked the previous episodes. Story 2/5, Action 3/5, Humor 3/5, Violence NO, Fun 4/5 Music 4/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 2/5, Suspense 2/5 5.5/10.

In these times of 'black darkness' I was excited about Vin Diesel, he seemed like a cool action guy and I was looking forward to his next films. But today, with Diesel's ego swollen to the size of his calf's neck, I'm just bored. And if I had a nickel for every time this film breaks the laws of physics, or they say "brother", "sister", "father", "mother" or "family", I'd buy an island in the Caribbean. Or a flat in Prague.

Dumb action movies like The Fast and the Furious work with a simple rule: there has to be enough interesting things going on in them that you has no reason to dwell on how much they don't make sense, how many laws of physics are broken, and how bullshit it all is. The ninth installment of this car franchise didn't do it. Justin Lin's direction is surprisingly boring and unimaginative, and his action sequences are a level worse than what he showed in the earlier films or what his colleagues came up with later. Yeah, it's always banging, crashing into things, falling from somewhere, driving fast and shifting gears even faster, but compared to previous installments, there's just nothing here that makes you go "wow, this was so cool, I don't care that Vin Diesel can't act and doesn't have a neck." On top of that, sadly, all the fun characters that were capable of keeping up with Diesel and settling him down have disappeared, so now there's just him as an alpha-male and buffoons running around, whose original job was to be comedy reliefs and now they're trying in vain to look like heroes. Honestly, is there anyone who realistically cares anything about the characters of Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris or Nathalie Emmanuel? Diesel is on his own. John Cena's serious acting is utterly mismanaged, Charlize Theron has more or less a bigger cameo, and the whole thing drags on from nowhere to nowhere, and even the best action scenes, the most you can say is "OK, but you did so much better last time." Fast and the Furious 9 is probably just as stupid as the previous installments, it's just much more obvious thanks to the lackluster action and unimaginative direction. And much more of a chore to finish.
