No no that’s my fault for name dropping F&F. This is the anti F&F. Watch that opera scene and you’ll get it.
The action scenes are so incredibly inventive and often do what you don’t expect so as to make them grounded and dramatic beyond popcorn butter bubbles.
Idk why they aren’t advertising it but you can watch the first four movies for free on Pluto.
I’m sorry about naming F&F. I just use it as an example of a franchise that reinvented itself for the better and shouldn’t be compared to it’s worst earliest offerings. It’s otherwise a totally different experience for different audiences.
There is so much unnecesary fucking slo mo in that movie.
Not to mention the “I just met you and now am desperately, helplessly in love with you” plotline.
And oh yeah, the main love interest being dropped off by helicopter in Syndney and then WALKING TO THE COASTAL CLIFFS somehow faster than two people on motorcycles.
Another unattended vault with lasers and multiple crazy high-tech security gizmo protections. Wouldn’t it be a lot cheaper to just hire a few guards to sit in the vault in rotating shifts?
Oh now she sits so close she’s literally touching the guy in a crowded cafeteria and he doesn’t think that’s weird? A CIA guy?
