The Action: Physics? We Don't Know Her.

If you watch Fast X for realistic car chases, you are two decades too late. The action sequences here are unhinged.

The Bomb Ball: In Rome, Dante chases Dom with a massive, round bomb rolling through the streets. Dom drives his Dodge Charger up the face of the bomb to divert it.
The Dam Sequence: The climax involves Dom driving his car up the curved wall of a collapsing dam, using the force of the water to launch himself onto a helicopter. It is pure, unadulterated cartoon logic, and it is glorious.
Car vs. Helicopter (Again): Yes, Dom jumps a car off a cliff to catch a helicopter. No, it doesn't make sense. Yes, it looks cool.

Director Louis Leterrier grounds the CGI mayhem with a slightly grittier camera style than Justin Lin, making the chaos feel just tangible enough. The Action: Physics

The Cliffhanger Ending

Fast X ends on a brutal, unambiguous cliffhanger—a first for the franchise. After Jakob sacrifices himself to save Little B (driving off an exploding cliff), Dom faces Dante alone on the crumbling Antarctic dam. Dante detonates charges, causing the entire structure to collapse. As Dom’s car plunges into the fiery abyss, he radios his team: “Looks like I’m gonna need some help.”

Cut to black. The final shot shows Dante, bleeding but victorious, walking away from the inferno.

However, the mid-credits scene reveals:

Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), who left the franchise after a public feud with Diesel, returns. Tasked by the Agency, Hobbs receives a file on Dante Reyes—and a cryptic message that Dante has taken something from him. This sets up a final confrontation between Hobbs and Dante in Fast XI.
Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot) – who seemingly died sacrificing herself in Fast & Furious 6 – is revealed to be alive, walking out of the shadows of a secret submarine base. Her return opens infinite narrative possibilities.

Box Office and Critical Reception

Released on May 19, 2023, Fast X had a reported budget of $340 million (one of the most expensive films ever made).

Box Office: The film grossed over $714 million worldwide. While impressive, it was considered a slight underperformance compared to F7 ($1.5 billion) and F8 ($1.2 billion), largely due to the ballooning budget and mixed reviews.
Critical Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes scores settled around 56% (Rotten). Critics praised Momoa’s performance but criticized the bloated runtime (141 minutes) and the fact that the film doesn't actually end—it just stops. Fast X is literally the first half of a two-part finale, leading to a cliffhanger that angered casual viewers.
