There's nothing wrong with the "Fast and Furious" series that killing off Vin Diesel's character wouldn't cure.
Diesel, who's not one of the four Oscar winners in the insanely huge cast of "Fast X," weighs it down with his monotone delivery and expressionless "acting." But his Dominic Toretto functions as the patriarch of the globe-hopping band of thieves/world-savers at the core, so we're likely stuck with him as long as they keep making them.
"Fast X" — the title, unfortunately, sounds like a super-effective new purgative — is, like its predecessors, packed with frantic car chases and butt-whippings. When I saw the poster, which boasts so many actors' faces that it's hard to tell who's who, I was all set to whine that "Fast X" is trying to do too much. Which it is, but the most entertaining parts of the movie depend entirely on newcomers.
