Hey everyone, Fast X - the first part of the finale to the Fast Saga - has released I theaters. As I've stated before, I'm a pretty big fan of these movies and grew to be a massive fan by binging 8 of these films right after The Fate of the Furious came out. I was looking forward to Fast X and the concept of them closing out this franchise, at last, on their own terms but felt F9 just went way too far with the over-the-top stunts. So, does Fast X dial back some of that and act as a nice return to form for the Fast Saga or is it more of the same? Find out in this spoiler-free review.
