It had previously been reported that Paul's younger brother, Cody Walker, would either join the cast in a new role, or replace his older brother in the role of O'Conner; however, it was later announced that the character will not return to the franchise. Moritz also said that the film would shift the focus of the franchise from a series of heist films to a spy caper, following a similar change in focus from street racing in Fast Five (2011).

The eighth installment was planned since 2014, and plot details were first announced in March 2015 when Diesel appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and announced that the film would be set in New York City. Preparations for the film began immediately before the release of Furious 7, with Diesel, Morgan, and producer Neal H. Moritz re-signing. After setting an initial release date in that same month, casting took place between April and June. In October, Gray was announced to direct the film in the place of James Wan, who had directed the previous installment. Composer Brian Tyler, who had scored the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh installments, returned to compose the score.\n
Principal photography began in March 2016 in locations such as M\u00fdvatn, Havana, Atlanta, Cleveland, and New York City, continuing the franchise's tradition of filming around the world. With an estimated production budget of up to $270 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. This is the first film in the series since Tokyo Drift (2006) not to star Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, following his death in November 2013.\n
The Fate of the Furious premiered in Berlin on April 4, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 14, by Universal Pictures. It received mixed to positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances of the cast and action sequences but criticism for the storyline. The film was a box office success, grossing over $1.2 billion worldwide, making it the nineteenth film (and the second in the franchise, after Furious 7) to gross over $1 billion, the third-highest-grossing film of 2017, and the eleventh highest-grossing film of all time at the time. It also grossed $541.9 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which made it the highest-grossing worldwide opening of all time until the release of Avengers: Infinity War a year later. The film was followed by a spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw (2019), and a direct sequel, F9 (2021).\n
Dominic \"Dom\" Toretto and Letty Ortiz are on their honeymoon in Havana when Dom's cousin Fernando gets in trouble owing money to local racer Raldo. Sensing Raldo is a loan shark, Dom challenges Raldo to a race, pitting Fernando's 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline against Raldo's 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria, and wagering his own 1961 Chevrolet Impala. After narrowly winning the race, Dom allows Raldo to keep his car, saying his respect is enough. \n
The next day, an elusive woman named Cipher coerces Dom into working for her by showing him something on her phone. Shortly afterward, Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs is given an off-the-books mission to retrieve an EMP device from a military outpost in Berlin, and is warned that he will face arrest if captured. Hobbs recruits Dom and his team, comprising Letty, Roman Pearce, Tej Parker, and Ramsey, to help him retrieve the device. \n
During the getaway, Dom forces Hobbs off the road and steals the device for Cipher, who is a cyberterrorist. Hobbs is arrested and confined in the same high-security prison which holds Deckard Shaw. They initiate a prison escape and are recruited by intelligence operative Mr. Nobody and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Little Nobody, to help the team find Dom and capture Cipher. When Hobbs and the team protest working with Deckard, he reveals that Cipher had hired his brother Owen to steal the Nightshade device and Mose Jakande to steal God's Eye, Ramsey's software program.[a] The team tracks Dom and Cipher to their own location, moments before the two attack the base, injure the team and steal God's Eye. \n
When Dom shows frustration with Cipher, she shows him his ex-lover and DSS agent Elena Neves, and their son, of whose existence Dom was unaware, having kidnapped both to secure his loyalty. Cipher sends Dom to retrieve a nuclear football held by the Russian Minister of Defense in New York City. With the help of Raldo, Dom briefly evades Cipher, and persuades Deckard and Owen's mother, Magdalene, to help him, offering to arrange the Shaw brothers' freedom from government custody if they rescue his son from Cipher's plane. Cipher hacks into the electronics systems of many cars, remotely controlling them via auto drive, causing them to blockade the convoy so that Dom can take the football. \n
The team intercepts Dom in their cars, but Dom escapes and seemingly kills Deckard. Letty catches up to Dom and steals the football, but is nearly killed by Cipher's enforcer, Connor Rhodes, before Dom stops him and forces the football from Letty. In retaliation, Cipher lets Rhodes execute a tied up Elena in front of Dom, threatening his son next. Dom infiltrates a military separatist base in Russia to use the EMP device to disable security and a nuclear submarine, enabling Cipher to hijack it and attempt to use its arsenal to trigger a nuclear war. \n
They are intercepted by the team, who shut down the submarine's nuclear weapons and drive toward the gates that would prevent the sub from leaving to sea, while being pursued by separatists. Deckard, who faked his death with the help of Magdalene and Dom's former crew members Leo and Santos, teams up with Owen and infiltrates Cipher's plane to rescue Dom's son. Once Deckard reports that the child is safe, Dom turns on Cipher and kills Rhodes before rejoining his team. Cipher fires an infrared homing missile at Dom's Charger, but he breaks away from his team and lures the missile to the trailing submarine. \n
The team forms a vehicular blockade and shields Dom from the explosion as the submarine is destroyed. After killing all of Cipher's henchmen, Deckard reaches the front of the plane and confronts Cipher, who escapes by parachute, while Owen holds the pilot at gunpoint and forces him to land the plane. Mr. Nobody and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 visit Dom and his team in New York City to report that Cipher is still at large. Hobbs has his record cleared and is offered his DSS job back, but he declines and chooses to spend more time with his daughter. Deckard delivers Dom his son, putting his differences aside with Dom and Hobbs, and is accepted into their family. Dom names his son Brian and celebrates with his friends.\n

We're trying to do what we always do, which is try to come at it from a character point of view and figure out where the characters would go from here. I think the thing that's made The Fast and the Furious special is obviously we have incredible action and so on. But the thing that people really relate to the most is the characters. We're lucky that we have a lot of great characters. Unfortunately, we don't have Paul [Walker] anymore. His character... has moved on. But we feel like there's a lot still to be mined. That's where we're starting. We're really talking about the characters, where they all sit right now. It's a huge challenge.\n
In November 2014, Universal Pictures chairwoman Donna Langley told The Hollywood Reporter that there would be at least three more films in the franchise after Furious 7 (2015).[18] In April 2015, Vin Diesel stated that the possible sequel that \"Paul Walker used to say that [an eighth film] was guaranteed. And in some ways, when your brother guarantees something, you sometimes feel like you have to make sure it comes to pass.\"[19]\n
Diesel further hinted at an eighth film on Jimmy Kimmel Live! when he stated that Kurt Russell's character would span multiple films. He also stated that the next film would take place in New York City.[20]Chris Morgan returned to write his sixth script in the franchise, while Neal H. Moritz returned to produce. Moritz later stated, \"[The story] is going to have to be something enticing for all of us. It has to be as good as or better [than Furious 7]\".[21]\n
At the 2015 CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Diesel announced the film for an April 14, 2017 release date.[22][23] In August, at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards (where Furious 7 received the award for Choice Movie \u2013 Action and Walker received the award for Choice Movie Actor \u2013 Action), Diesel gave the film the initial title Fast 8.[24] In September, Diesel stated that the script had almost been completed,[25] and expressed interest in Rob Cohen, who directed the first film, to direct the eighth installment.[26]Furious 7 director James Wan was originally contractually hired to direct the eighth and ninth films in the series, but the studio let him go after he told them about his wishes to make a sequel to his previous horror film The Conjuring (2013). The studio went back to offer Wan directing the film after Justin Lin, who directed the film series since The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) to Fast & Furious 6 (2013), chose to direct Star Trek Beyond (2016) over returning to the series, but Wan firmly declined due to the seventh film's demanding production impacting on his health.[27] In October, Diesel announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Straight Outta Compton (2015) director F. Gary Gray would direct the film.[28][29]\n
In July, Moritz said that Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, would not appear in the film, following the use of CGI in the previous film after Walker died in a single-vehicle accident in November 2013, with Moritz stating that his character had \"moved on\".[17] It had previously been reported that Paul's younger brother, Cody Walker, would either join the cast in a new role,[30] or replace his older brother in the role of O'Conner;[31] however, it was later announced that the character will not return to the franchise.[32] Moritz also said that the film would shift the focus of the franchise from a series of heist films to a spy caper, following a similar change in focus from street racing in Fast Five (2011).[33] In December 2016, the film was retitled The Fate of the Furious.[34]\n
Diesel, Russell, and Michelle Rodriguez were the first to confirm their involvement in the film,[5] and Tyrese Gibson and Chris Bridges both confirmed their return soon after.[8] Diesel was paid $20 million for his involvement.[35]Lucas Black had signed on to reprise his role from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift as Sean Boswell for Furious 7 and two more installments in September 2013.[36] In May 2015, Dwayne Johnson confirmed his involvement in the film, additionally hinting at a possible spin-off film involving his character, Luke Hobbs.[6]Jason Statham also confirmed his return that same month.[7] In April 2016, Charlize Theron and Kristofer Hivju were confirmed as additions to the cast, in villainous roles,[12][13] while Scott Eastwood also joined the film as a law enforcement agent.[9] In May, Nathalie Emmanuel was confirmed to reprise her role as Ramsey in the film.[10] In June, Helen Mirren announced in an interview with Elle that she would appear in the film.[37] During an interview with Chris Mannix in July, Lucas Black confirmed he would not appear in the eighth installment, due to scheduling conflicts with NCIS: New Orleans.[38]\n
\nNew York City is one of the exotic locations for the film.\n
In keeping with the franchise's penchant for filming in \"exotic\" locations, such as Abu Dhabi and Rio de Janeiro, in January 2016 it was announced that Universal was seeking approval from the United States and Cuban governments to shoot part of the film in Cuba.[39][40]Principal photography began on March 14, in M\u00fdvatn, in Iceland,[41][42] where strong winds sent a plastic iceberg prop flying into a paddock. The prop struck two horses: one was wounded and the other mortally injured; it was later euthanized.[43] In late April, filming began in Cuba's capital city, Havana.[44][45][46][47] In May, filming also took place in Cleveland, once again standing in for Manhattan.[48][49] Franchise cinematographer Stephen F. Windon returned for the eighth instalment.[50] Filming also took place in Atlanta[51] and New York City.[52]\n
Brian Tyler, who scored the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh installments, was tapped to compose the film score for the eighth picture.[53] A soundtrack album by Atlantic Records was released on April 14, 2017, coinciding with the film's US theatrical release.[54] The film's score album was released on April 28, by Back Lot Music.[55]\n
The Fate of the Furious had its world premiere in Berlin on April 4, 2017.[56] The film was theatrically released in the United States on April 14.[22][23] The film was released in 1,074 IMAX screens around the world, making it the widest opening in IMAX history.[57]\n
The Fate of the Furious grossed $226 million in the United States and Canada and $1.01 billion in other territories for a worldwide total of $1.236 billion,[4] against a production budget of $250 million.[2][3] It was the third-highest-grossing film of 2017 and the eleventh-highest-grossing film of all time.[59][60] The film was released in 64 territories worldwide, including almost all major markets (minus Japan), starting from April 12, 2017, and was projected to earn anywhere between $375\u2013440 million in its five-day opening weekend.[61][62] By the end of the weekend, it ended up earning $539.9 million from nearly 23,000 screens, way above initial projections, to score the biggest global opening in cinematic history until it was surpassed by Avengers: Infinity War (2018). It also marked the third time that a film earned over $500 million in a single weekend, after Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) ($529 million) and Jurassic World (2015) ($525.5 million).[63] On April 30, 2017, the film crossed the $1 billion mark, becoming the second film in the franchise to do so, after Furious 7.[64] In IMAX, the film made $31.1 million from 1,079 screens to record the biggest IMAX April debut and the fourth-biggest overall at the time.[63]\n
Like several of its predecessors, The Fate of the Furious was released in the United States and Canada in the month of April, and like its immediate predecessor, occupied the lucrative Easter week holiday period slot, where it was expected to open with $100\u2013125 million. It received the widest pre-summer release ever, at an estimated 4,304 venues, besting the 4,242 opening theater count of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) the previous March.[61][65][66][67] The film made $10.4 million from Thursday night previews from 3,310 theaters, the second-highest of the franchise behind Furious 7's $15.8 million.[3] On its opening day it grossed $45.6 million, with Thursday previews making up 22.8% of the amount, slightly better than the 23% for Furious 7.[68] Earning a total of $98.8 million on its opening weekend, the film scored the second-biggest opening in the franchise (the third-biggest adjusted for inflation) and the third-biggest April debut, behind Furious 7 and The Jungle Book (2016). It posted an almost identical weekend multiplier like its immediate predecessor (2.166\u00d7 vs 2.18\u00d7).[69][70] Scott Mendelson of Forbes magazine compared the opening to how Spectre (2015) opening fell from Skyfall (2012). One notable record the film set was the best opening for a film with an African-American director, with Gray besting his own record set with Straight Outta Compton (2015).[71]\n
Internationally, The Fate of the Furious secured a release in 69 countries.[72] The film was projected to post an opening between $275\u2013330 million from over 20,000 screens, with some analysts believing it could go as high as $350\u2013400 million.[61][72][73] It opened Wednesday, April 12, 2017, in 8 countries, earning $17.9 million (including previews from 12 countries).[72] It opened in 33 more countries on Thursday, April 2, for a total of 41 countries, earning $58.4 million, marking Universal Pictures overseas' highest-grossing Thursday ever, and for a two-day total of $82.2 million.[72] It added 22 more countries on Friday, April 3, earning $112.1 million to score Universal International's highest-grossing Friday of all time, for a three-day total of $194.8 million.[72] In total, through Sunday, the film registered an opening of $441.1 million from 64 markets, setting new records for the biggest April international debut, Universal's biggest, and the biggest of all time overall (ahead of Jurassic World)\u2014It is the first such film to open past $400 million in a single weekend with a bulk of it coming from China. Around $22.6 million came from 681 IMAX screens which is Universal's second-biggest behind only Jurassic World.[63] It topped the international charts for a second consecutive term, adding another $158.1 million[74] after which it was surpassed by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), another film starring Diesel and Russell, in its third weekend.[75] In IMAX, the film has grossed north of $58 million.[75]\n
It set the record for the biggest opening day of 2017 in every territory it has been released at, the biggest opening day of all time in 16 markets, Universal's biggest opening day ever in 22 territories and the biggest opening in the franchise in 38 markets. Moreover, it recorded the biggest paid previews of all time in Malaysia, Singapore, Venezuela, and Vietnam.[72] In terms of opening weekend, the film debuted at No. 1 in all markets where it set the biggest opening weekend of all time in 20 markets; Universal's biggest opening weekend ever in 28 markets; and the biggest opening in the franchise in 40 markets.[63][74][76] The top openings were recorded in China ($192 million),[77] Mexico ($17.7 million), the United Kingdom ($17.5 million), Russia ($14.2 million), Germany ($13.6 million), Brazil ($12.8 million), India ($10.7 million), Korea ($10.6 million), Middle East combined ($9.9 million), Taiwan ($9.3 million), France ($9.2 million), Australia ($9.5 million), Argentina ($9 million), Indonesia ($8.5 million), Italy ($6.7 million), Malaysia ($6.3 million), Spain ($6.1 million), Colombia ($4.9 million), Thailand ($4.9 million), Panama ($4.8 million),[63] Pakistan ($2.5 million), and Romania ($1.7 million).[78] Comparing market-to-market performance, Furious 7 had an opening worth $250 million without China and Russia while The Fate of the Furious delivered $228.2 million debut, sans the two aforementioned markets.[63] In Japan, the film debuted with $7.5 million. Although that's a new record for the franchise, the film debuted at number three behind Disney's Beauty and the Beast (2017) and local film Detective Conan: Crimson Love Letter (2017)\u2014their robust second-weekend earnings blocked the former from taking the top spot, making Japan one of the few markets where the film didn't open at No. 1.[75][79] The biggest-earning markets are China ($392.8 million), followed by Brazil ($41.8 million), the United Kingdom ($37.5 million), Mexico ($36.8 million), and Germany ($32.4 million).[80] In Peru, it has become Universal's highest-grossing film ever.[81]\n
The Fate of the Furious received mixed to positive reviews from critics.[82][83][84] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 67% with an average score of 6.10/10, based on 314 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, \"The Fate of the Furious opens a new chapter in the franchise, fueled by the same infectious cast chemistry and over-the-top action fans have come to expect.\"[85]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 56 out of 100 based on 45 critics, indicating \"mixed or average reviews\".[86] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of \"A\" on an A+ to F scale, and those at PostTrak gave the film an 88% overall positive score and a 71% \"definite recommend\".[3]\n
Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a positive review, writing: \"This isn't my favorite of the series\u2014that's still Furious 7 (it's hard to top those jumps from skyscraper to skyscraper, but this is a worthy entry). These movies know what they are. These movies know they are fun. These are fun movies!\"[87]Owen Gleiberman of Variety, in his positive review of the film, wrote: \"Most franchises, after eight films, are feeling a twinge of exhaustion, but this one has achieved a level of success\u2014and perpetual kinetic creative energy\u2014that's a testament to its commercial/cultural/demographic resonance.\" He also wrote, \"If this series, over the last 16 years, has taught us anything, it's that just when you think it's about to run out of gas, it gets outfitted with an even more elaborate fuel-injection system.\"[88]\n
David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a C\u2212 and called it the worst entry of the franchise, saying: \"As much a mess of conflicting tones and styles as it is of locations, this setpiece\u2014like the rest of Gray's movie\u2014feels like a heap of random parts that were thrown together in the hopes that fate might somehow weld them into a roadworthy vehicle. But it's not all groundbreaking.\"[89] J. R. Kinnard of PopMatters magazine gave a lukewarm review, writing: \"It's unlikely that devotees will consider The Fate of the Furious one of the stronger entries in the series. Still, the filmmakers and actors are clearly dedicated to making a quality product, avoiding the complacency that often plagues action sequels.\"[90]Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two stars out of four, saying: \"Moments after Dom has gone rogue and apparently wants to kill them, they're making jokes. As they're racing through the streets of New York City or skidding along the ice in Russia, killing bad guys and narrowly avoiding getting killed themselves, they're crackin' wise. Even within this ludicrous universe, it's jarring to hear these supposedly smart folks, who refer to themselves as 'family,' acting like idiots who don't seem to care if they live or die, or if their friends survive.\"[91]\n
Professor of international political economy Richard E. Feinberg has commented on the political significance of the film's opening setting of Havana in the context of shifting U.S.\u2013Cuban relations, calling the eighth instalment, \"Hollywood's love letter to Havana\".[92] He writes, \"In the Cuban sequence's dramatic climax, Dom wins his hard-fought one-mile race (\"a Cuban mile\") against a tough local competitor, by a nose. The loser is gracious: 'You won my car and you earned my respect,' he admits to the FF hero. Dom's response is equally magnanimous: 'Keep your car, your respect is good enough for me.' In this instance, FF8 captures the essence of the relations between the United States and Cuba: it's all about mutual respect.\"[92]\n
The Fate of the Furious was followed by F9, released in June 2021. It grossed over $700 million worldwide,[95][96] and received a similarly mixed critical and audience response.[97] A tenth film, Fast X, was released in May 2023.[98] Although Fast X was reported as the final installment of the franchise, Diesel unveiled two sequels to that film,[99] with the eleventh scheduled for release in April 2025.[100] Following the positive reception of Johnson and Statham's chemistry in The Fate of the Furious and following the box-office success of that film,[101] Universal released a spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019).[102]\n

This film pretty much gets everything wrong. As a film that is trying to make its share from the popularity of the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast and Fierce shows a complete lack of understanding of what makes Fast and Furious so popular and successful.
The writing is shocking. At times it even dips into the same territory as The Room but in a way that is embarrassing than endearing.
The acting isn't very good either, it gives the impression that all the actors are amateurs and that this is their first time acting, and whoever directed the film chose their first takes of every scene they did.
What makes Fast and Furious so exciting to watch is that the films, during the races, are very visually stylized. In Fast and Fierce, we have shaky cam, fast editing that sometimes breaks continuity, and shots of actors who don't look like they know what they are supposed to be reacting to.
I draw comparisons to Fast and the Furious, not only because of its alternative title Fast and Fierce, but also because they even use the line "I live life a quarter mile at a time" so it's begging for the comparison. The film ends with a weird interjection that is out of place and in a situation that does not really give much resolution to anything.
The romance is forced and so cliche that the film would have been better off without it.
I didn't have high expectations for this film and, indeed, it lived up to those quite low expectations. This is easily the kind of film you can enjoy with friends if you all enjoy watching cheaply made, imitations of big budget Hollywood films. There is entertainment value with this, but it's better with friends. Not so bad it's good, but it's campy, hammy, and corny enough for a bad movie night.

Jack Tyson (Michael DeVorzon ) who has retired from unsanctioned racing is coerced into another race to save his brother (Jack Pearson) from his gambling debt. The race is 1,000 miles from Mexico to LA.
I love films with "Death Race" in the title. But this was more like a three car Gumball Rally. No points for killing Mexicans. The plot was messed up as if they winged it. Why Eastern European models in Mexico? And how did Nelson get to Arizona in a pick-up truck ahead of his brother driving over 100 MPH with at least 3 or 4 overdrive gears?
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Horrible story (is there a story?) The acting is pure garbage at best and the CGI is really bad. Nothing makes sense from the start. This race they take part in, for 5 million only has 2-3 people? ??What? I can't even write this review. I had to stop watching the movie, and have to stop writing this review.

Firstly, the name is a selling point, but nothing like the Fast and Furious, nor the Death Race franchises.
The plot is that a millionaire puts on an illegal race from Mexico to L.A. with people betting on the race. It's not a comedy tho, just that same betting poll seen in Rat Race. However no one who places any bets is seen and it can become very confusing to pick up on this.\nThree drivers have been selected and for some reason some supposedly legendary drivers brother has been reeled in to owe a lot of money to the guy who puts on this race so he can get him to enter his race and make some bigger money. With a bunch of kidnapping and blackmail going on, the main guy enters the race and ends up meeting his Frog along the way who is the millionaires ex girlfriend and needs to get to L.A. with a flash-drive containing evidence to take the millionaire down. Now the main driver has everyone trying to kill him to get the girl, except for those at checkpoints. Will they get to L.A alive?
The film has a lot of stupid plot points to get this guy to drive, and the motive is explained, but blink and you'll miss it. I can see why other reviewers are saying "where's the plot?"\nWhat's most likely happened here is the film ran over budget, and they edited together what they had, with key ex machina scenes not filmed, and the climax completely ruined and rushed with what they could film quickly to just have something to end on.
Had this film explained itself better and had a decent ending, it would be pretty good. But what it is is a film that was ok up till the very end with a god awful way to end the film.
Overall, I wouldn't bother. It will just leave you disappointed like you wasted your time watching something half decent only to feel in the end like the movie took a dump on you and ran away.

Oh my god Veronika Issa tries to do what i am guess is a scarface impression of Tony Montana and it is sooo bad it is like they said do the worse impression you can do and she did. I went on instagram and this isn't what she sounds like so this was a impression. In her defense the whole movie was bad the script made no sense and the ending was the worse. I like her and a lot of the other actors and hope to see them in more stuff coming out but not a sequel to this

Movie rating 2 is very low, this deserve 4 or 5 as me and as movie entertaining. At least it binds you till end without many boring movie. Veronika Issa looking gorgeous is added point and some racing sequences are interesting. Story is nothing new than usual F&F movies but you can watch it once with not much expectations.

This is the worse drama that I've ever seen. Poor choices of words, bad cgi, poor acting, weird cars, etc. I wonder why anyone will put their money in this. Only watch if you nothing to watch.

Honestly I only watched it because DMX is in it. This would be a great movie if it was on a big budget production. The storyline wasn't bad and the actors did a good job. But it badly lacked research into cars especially from the main actor. Nos at the start of a 1000 mile race by one one actor. A muscle car that clearly has a truck gear box and driving at 180mph with the windows half up while casually moving the steering wheel side to side. I feel it is a B movie and if that was the intention then its good for a b movie. I feel it's the type of movie on late at night on film4 or on scyfy with the likes of sharknado. The best part about this movie was seeing DMX look healthy I would gladly watch movies like this if it meant he was in a good space. RR

This is the worst movie I have ever seen, it makes Movie 43 look like Citizen Cane! If you're expecting cool cars and great driving sequences, forget it, looking for a captivating story.. Forget it. Judging DMX for even considering being in this disaster! Over a 100 years of cinema and this is where we're at?!

The other reviews that gave a 1 aren't worth listening to. When you watch a straight to video film you can't judge them by films with big budget films.This film was half way decent. I see a lot of movies both big budget and low.I gave it a 5 based on that criteria. I guess some people don't have the intelligent to make that type of assessment.

What a way to fall, DMX had 2 number 1 CDs in the very same year, worked with Jet Li on two big blockbuster films, and seem like things were going good for him. Unfortunately I think he didn't take care of his money or whatever, and did some dog fighting and now his career is kinda ruined. Why do stuff like that when you are already rich? Get out the hood man, don't go back into that lifestyle. You HAVE Money, you don't need to try to keep acting thuggish anymore.
Anyways this is basically Fast and Furious with a lower budget. They even took some lines straight out of the films "I live my life a quarter mile at a time."

Just as the movie started and I saw THE ASYLUM on the screen, I just thought 'oh no...'
And yeah, this movie was exactly what you would expect from The Asylum; a mockbuster and a cash-on on the famous "Fast & Furious" franchise of course. But still, I opted to watch the movie, as once in a blue moon, then The Asylum does manage to put out a watchable movie.
"Fast & Fierce: Death Race" (aka "In the Drift") wasn't one such movie.
The storyline is every bit as stale and mundane as you would expect. So writers Mark Atkins and Marc Gottlieb didn't churn out something interesting, much less anything that proved entertaining or enjoyable.
The acting in "In the Drift" was every bit as stale and wooden as the storyline and script was. So yeah, you know what you are getting here. But of course, with a someone as DMX listed on the cover as the appeal to lure in audience, stakes aren't really that promising.
If you enjoy muscle cars, which I don't, then you might actually find some enjoyment in the movie, as there are some cars throughout the course of the movie. But if you are looking for a movie that provides you with a proper script and storyline to keep you entertained, then "In the Drift" is a really, really poor choice of movie.
Heck, I didn't even complete the movie, because it was so unappealing and anything but interesting. Now, I can't claim to be much of a fan of the "Fast & Furious" movie franchise either, but at least they had the budget and the cast to make it watchable. "In the Drift" had neither.
My rating of this 2020 mockbuster lands on a mere two out of ten stars. This was by no means the brightest moment in the history of The Asylum.

DMX did the best acting and isn't an actor. The movie started with a good storyline but then got confusing. Then DMX side kick I was confused on what accent she was doing. The weird lines that seemed to just come out of no where. Jack (main character) lacked acting and definitely didn't convince me as the bad ass that they were portraying him to be. Then the line about I live my life a 1/4 a mile at a time. Really?!? Yall just going to steal Vin Deisel line like that?? \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 Terrible! I guess the writers just ran out of story and then just abruptly ended the movie.

Paul Walker plays Brian O'Conner, a hot shot police officer, who goes undercover as a car junkie Brian Spilner to see if a local street racer/mechanic by the name of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diseal) has anything to do with hijacking a bunch of cargo from DVD's, TV's, entertainment sets, and so forth while at the same time falling head over heels for Dominic's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster). Brian comes so close while at the same time gaining trust to the target (Dominic) itself where it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
The film itself has the best action sequences involving street racing and high octane action where despite a so-so plot to follow, or one that's been seen before (such as Point Break), you don't have to worry about a thing. It's just pure fun.
The film also stars Michelle Rodriguez (S.W.A.T.) as Dominic's girlfriend, Letty; Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs) as Sgt. Tanner, and singer Ja Rule in a small cameo as a contestant against Dominic.
