Updated: May 19, 2022

Mix Up Theatre Rating: ★★★★

Director: Justin Lin

Writers: Daniel Casey, Justin Lin

Stars: Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron.

Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year’s The Suicide Squad).

MIX UP REVIEWS:

★★★★

Mylo - ★★★★★

'The film was action packed and full of entertaining sequences. It was exciting and it kept you engaged. The actors did a great job and they worked well together. They showcased Edinburgh well and it was nice to recognise places I know. It was certainly fast and definitely furious.'

Hollye - ★★★★★

'It was such an amazing action filled movie. Constant car chases, constant Ferraris flying through the sky, and very cool fights keeping you right on the edge of your seat. It was wonderful seeing all of Edinburgh.'

Matthew - ★★★

'This movie wasn’t anywhere near as good as I was expecting, there was almost no car/racing stuff and the movie was very unrealistic. The movies are always a bit far fetched but this took it too far. They drive up bridges that are broken and even drive a car to space! The Dom background stuff was great though, that was where all of the car/racing stuff was. The casting of John Cena for the new Toretto brother was a bad choice seen as they have no resemblance and seems like they’re just trying to bring in more big names. I would rate this movie a 3/5 and is definitely my least favourite in the series.'
