Filed on May 19, 2021 Underwhelming plot, below-par action sequences leave F9 wanting says Husain Rizvi Never could we have imagined a day when we’d be compelled to lump a Fast and Furious film in with below-par movies. Fast and Furious 9, directed by Justin Lin, is the worst of the lot from the entire franchise. Plain and simple. Originally scheduled to open in 2020, but delayed due to the pandemic, the film has an underwhelming main plot and many trivial subplots, the action fails to live up to the hype, and the director’s final cut made it seem like he spent lockdown with Rohit Shetty discussing the fundamentals of physics and how to destroy them! It is a classic case of a franchise constantly trying to top itself and this time coming unstuck.
