Fast X - 2023

Well, this is ok, there’s the whole lot of characters, which is nice, I like it when they’re all together, only here they’re present in the story, yes, but not really together, not really doing much, it is still mostly Dom vs Dante… bu still, I appreciate that they’re all here. Problem is, this one is a lot of noise, like a lot, but not much heart, so I’m waiting for the next movie to put it all back together.
This is not one I’d watch again, but if they do it the right way, the next one might be.

Ten years ago in Rio De Janeiro, Dom and Brian stole a whole safe, and while escaping Dom causes the death of a man, drug boss Hernan Reyes, and injures his psycho son Dante. Now, the son wants to make him suffer. He steals men and technology from Cipher, turning her men against her blackmailing them with their families.
She sort of wins against them all but is badly injured; she gets to Dom’s house to tell him all. 
Han has gone to Rome with Tej, Roman and Ramsey for a mission but it’s not a real one, it’s a trap. Dom and Letty go there to help, and avoid a big bomb destroying the whole city by pushing it into the river Tevere… (how could that be enough… wel, it’s not like sense means a lot in these movies, so let’s ignore it). Now the six of them are called terrorists, with Dom as their leader. 
Hobbs, Mr Nobody, and all those at thet Agency who were their friends are not in charge anymore, and this new guy Aimes believes them to be criminals; Mr Nobody’s daughter Tess doesn’t. 
I Carabinieri got Letty so now the Agency has her. 
Aimes goes after Mia and Little Brian (his life consists in his father teaching him how to drive and win… he’s just a little child…ok…). Queenie warned Dom so he called his brother Jacob to help, then Mia goes to Brian while the kid goes with Jacob to meet Dom. 
Tess meets with Dom, she stole God’s Eye from the Agency and tracked him; she tells him about Dante, but he wants Letty out first. Tess manages to free her… sort of. Gives her a way to escape…
Dom goes to Rio, meets Dante at those street races, and they race. It’s four cars, not just them, and Dante put bombs in their cars. Dom can’t save both of the others, he manages to save the girl, but his friend Diogo dies. She turns out to be Elena’s sister. 
In London, the four friends have nothing so Han knocks at Shaw’s door; they fight a bit then stand together against all the men coming to kill them.
Aimes gets Dom.
Letty meets Cipher and they get out together, sort of. They’re in Antarctica. 
All those who helped Dom are targets, so even Queenie, Shaw’s mom. 
Dante attacks Aimes and all his men so now he listens to Dom…
Dante got sis though, but Tess helps him so it should be Dante vs Dom, but he’s got snipers on a helicopter. Tess is shot but she’ll live.
Dante got God’s Eye so now he can track where little Brian is. 
Now Aimes says he wants to help, to make amends…
Jacob is really good but eventually Dante takes little B so he blows himself up to stop many cars and help Dom save his son.
The guys arrive on a plane but Dante shoots it down.
Little B jumps from one car to the other so he’s with Dom now.
We see that Aimes is actually with Dante, has been for ten years.

Only two scenes before the end: Dom is about to die with little B, drowned I think, while in Antarctica a girl comes to help Cipher, wiht a submarine emerging from the ice.
The end.
Mid-credits we see that it was Hobbs who shot and definitely killed Reyes, so Dante wants him to suffer too.
The end for real this time… but not really because the story isn’t finished…

We don’t know the fate of anyone, and Dante is still very much alive and free, and so is Aimes.

Wait…
Wikipedia says that the girl coming to get Cipher is Gisele… I didn’t recognize her if it’s the same WW actress, but it would certainly be nice if it’s her… since I don’t believe for one moment that th guys are all dead, it would be a very sh**ty way to end the saga, wouldn’t it?
I will certainly wait for the next movie, hoping to see Han and Gisele reunited… and also to learn how the hell can she be alive, and without a word to anyone… did she lose her memory like Letty did?
