it's funny how ludicrous this shit and Fast & Furious looked back 2001/2002 in comparison to the action movies with grew up with, but we now look to Diesel for the legit action fan alternatives to superhero cgi shit

pretty much what I look for in a Vin Diesel movie, "kick some ass and try to look cool"

So this was a lot of fun. Nails the feeling of freewheeling insanity that drove the F&F resurgence but without the tongue in cheek self awareness that started to creep into that franchise starting with 7. Donnie Yen kinda steals the movie, he has the best action moments and breathes a little personality into a routine one-dimensional character, even has pretty good chemistry with Diesel (def better than The Rock). I don't know if this will make enough to create a franchise resurgence they're clearly aiming for, but I'd be happy to see more.
