Plot Summary

Dom Toretto is living a quiet life off the grid with Letty and their son, but they soon discover that danger is lurking around the corner.

Dom must confront his past and rally his trusted crew to prevent Jakob and Cipher from achieving their nefarious goals.

Critical Reception

F9 received mixed reviews from critics, who often found the action sequences thrilling but criticized the increasingly outlandish plot and lack of originality. Audiences, however, generally embraced the film's signature blend of high-octane stunts and character camaraderie, contributing to its strong box office performance.

What Reviewers Say

  • Praised for its over-the-top, exhilarating action sequences and consistent pacing.
  • Criticized for a plot that strains credulity and relies heavily on established tropes.
  • Appreciated for continuing the franchise's theme of found family and loyalty.

Google audience: Google users largely enjoyed F9, appreciating the signature Fast & Furious action, high-speed chases, and the continuation of the beloved characters' storylines. While some noted the plot became less believable, the overall sentiment was positive, with many finding it a fun and entertaining installment.

Fun Fact

The film features a sequence where characters travel into space in a Pontiac Fiero modified with a rocket engine, a concept inspired by a similar, albeit less plausible, idea discussed in the 2019 film 'The Fate of the Furious'.

To some degree, with maybe the exception of Tokyo Drift and Fate of the Furious, I've enjoyed these Fast and Furious movies. Yes, they are dumb and have over-the-top action, CGI-generated, scenes yet despite that found them to be mindless e...

Sure no one watches FF series expecting amazing plot, but surely it is now pushing the boundaries of ridiculous. I did enjoy the previous films just as silly action flicks but this one had me sighing in disbelief midway through.

I watched the film, but it didn't appeal to me as much as the prior films. The change in theme and concept was one of the things that bothered me the most in this film. From street racing and minor crimes, the movies evolved into an ide...

This delay was worth waiting for... First of, it was really cool how they did the flashback; looked like it was filmed in a retro camera, which made it look like it was filmed in the 1989/90s!. Clearly a nod to the first Fast & Furious f...
