Classic old school plot. Classic getaway. Classic cars. Classic chases but with beautiful shots of tight mountain roads. Pretty girls (only two of them). Nice soundtrack.
The makers of this movie failed to add depth to the main characters, because they shouldn't have even tried. The movie has enough pretty cars, two(yes, only two) pretty girls, decent pace which was watered down with shallow love stories. For some reason it gives the feeling that they cannot fail which spoils the thrill: "How are they gonna make it now!?". Yes, acting was cheesy, but convincing enough so you can bare it before the next chase. Clint Eastwood's son was so stiff, that I was expecting him to spit tobacco and to get on the horse at any moment now. The good thing - every single stunt was very real. No zero gravity, no "turn off the physics for a while" moments. Engine roar, rubber and grip. I would prefer this one before any of the last FF movies.

I was very disappointed with this movie. There was way too much going on and it was hard to follow.
The best parts of the FF franchise are the effects and action scenes which require a massive budget.
Take away the budget and you get this movie which is a boring, clique'd, uninspiring mess that should have not been made.
Not absolutely horrendous but you will forget that this movie existed after walking from the theater.

This movie reminds me the French "Taxi" movie series (from Luc Besson): bad action scenes, bad acting, bad script, bad camera work....
I don't know how Scott Eastwood got involved in this movie. Because he can have a pretty good acting career like his father by selecting better projects.
Ana De Armas is not good either (before her big break in Blade Runner 2049). Surely because of the crappy and unoriginal script.
And I don't know how this movie got funded. Surely it can be a nice TV movie, so forgettable.

Poor old Clunk Eastwood must be rolling in his grave...or would be if he was pan but almost every actor in this is awful.
Its probably notable that Karl Urban pulled out and many others so it seems the roles went to those at the bottom of the barrel and I do hear that old Clunk Eastwood gave the producers a back hander to get his son into it.
The English bloke Freddie just couldn't act - it was painful - I actually feel sorry for the wee chap!
Cant stand the London Idris Elba accent - he is another overrated actor if you can call him that but i digress.
Ana De Armas who i hear is in the new Bladerunner movie which i haven't seen yet and now makes me think twice as she was another of the acting eyebrows, bit of fluff on a stick style non-actress - I wonder which directors casting couch she laid out on to get into acting - Harvey maybe! ;p;
So bad, bad is the acting but on the positive side - the cars were good to look at and there were a few good explosions and bridges collapsing and you get a half decent car chase or two but the story is nothing spectacular - I don't really go for car movies much as in my opinion the car chase in "COLD SWEAT" with Charles Bronson is one of the best even though Steve McQueen fans may argue that one but this is nothing in comparison.
Could have been much better if they had found some actors who could like .. welll .... act!

Did you know
- TriviaThe Ferrari 250 GTO in the movie is not one of the genuine 36 250 GTO's. Instead it is a replica, based on a Ferrari 250 GTE, chassis number 4861GT, owned by a French collector. This is unsurprising as a real car of such used in the film would be valued at several millions: the current record for world's most expensive car was set a year after the films release (2018: a 1963 250 GTO (chassis 4153GT) sold in a private sale for $70 million; and another in auction (GTO 3413GT) at some $48,000,000): prior to the film being made, a bid of $34,000,000 secured one in 2014.
- GoofsIn the opening scene where the BMW M3 turns into the path of the semi, the dashboard of the car shows the vehicle in park, something the car would not likely allow the driver to do while moving.
