While I smiled my way through Fast X, I kept thinking that somewhere Heath Ledger must be flattered. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the 10th mainline film (and 11th overall) in the Fast & Furious series contains a hell of a tribute to Ledger's iconic performance as The Joker.
There's a lot for fans to like in Fast X, but this one performance I speak of is the one thing that makes the movie stand out in the entire Fast timeline. And I'll admit, the movie needed it. In a world where betrayal is as regular as the sun rising and setting, and where cars explode as often as flowers bloom, you need a new element of pure chaos.
