This is an edge-of-the–seat thriller — literally! From the opening frame, the action sequences feature unstoppable action.
Directed by The Incredible Hulk‘s Louis Leterrier, Fast X has a packed cast with surprising characters and contract backbone. It’s a franchise that was successfully launched more than two decades ago.
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel, Find Me Guilty, The Pacifier) leads the high-octane encounters, bringing down helicopters and even going back to his racing roots.
Toretto and the family have one final journey to make in the two-part final curve of the iconic series. There have been so many missions and against impossible odds, Toretto and his family have outsmarted and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they must confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced.
Powered by revenge, a terrifying threat emerges from the shadows of the past to shatter Dom’s world and destroy everything — and everyone — he loves. He is evading death at every quarter-mile, and the motivations and plan by Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), who wants to get revenge against those who took so much from him more than a decade ago.
Along with Vin Diesel, the other familiar cast includes Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Tyrese Gibson’s Roman Pearce, Rita Moreno as Abuela Toretto, Jordana Brewster’s Mia Toretto, Nathalie Emmanuel’s Ramsey, and Sung Kang’s Han Lue. Rodriguez’s Ortiz aids her husband, Dom, in any way that she can in the war against Dante Reyes.
Fast X’s main villain Reyes is son of the late drug lord Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), the antagonist killed by Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) in Fast Five.
Also known as Fast & Furious 10, this film features more than double the cars, daring chase scenes, twice the fascinating stunts and two-fold reminiscing!
- Fast X is screening at Limelight Cinemas, Tuggeranong
