In this action packed crime film, a mysterious women provokes Dom into a world manifested by terrorism and betrayal. The crew faces subsequent trials and tribulations that test their limits and even break them apart. Comedic relief, clever drama, and thrilling scenes made this film a must-see and I would recommend it to anyone ages 13 and up. IMDb rated ‘Fate of the Furious’ as a 7.4/10 in review.

‘Fate of the Furious’ brings back the most hilarious characters and fan favorites. It stars Vin Diesel who plays Dom, Dwayne Johnson who plays Hobbs, and Jason Statham who plays Deckard.
