The Fast films are dumb from the ground up.
I have zero interest in these movies but dumb formulaic films appealing to the lowest common denominator of audience IQ is still a central part of the studio business model.
There’s an old story about a Golden Age studio executive out golfing with a friend. He’s asked “Hey, Jack, what’s your latest picture about?”, to which he replies “Same f*cking thing as all the rest: one movie star falls in love with another movie star. Now are we gonna play or what?”
