Fas(ten) your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpier than ever ride. The first part of Fast X, the Fast and Furious finale film, is like The Avengers on steroids: every character gets a moment, every movie gets a callback and every scene has to comment on something that happened in a previous film. Trying to keep up with all these moving pieces is like trying to memorize a car manual, only with twice as many parts. After nine films, four directors and hundreds of actors, the series which started with Vin Diesel racing on the streets of Los Angeles has turned into a giant, globe-trotting adventure. And somehow all this nonsense is still a fun escape.The Fast and Furious films have had their ups and downs, so it’s nice to see the finale tying everything together.

RALEIGH, N.C.
