Wont mince words as that was a fucking terrible movie (I'm sure that's gonna be an unpopular opinion). I've a feeling that their continuity supervisor either fell asleep ten minutes into the whole filming schedule and never woke up, or they didn't even bother hiring one. Simply on a technical level, the film had far too many mistakes. Even on a practical level, a lot of it didn't make sense.

That said, it's an FnF film, so I wasn't expecting a realistic movie. Definitely a leave-your-mind-at-the-door and simply enjoy the moving pictures in front of you. A few of the technical errors did end up pulling me out of my enjoyment but overall it was a decent addition to the franchise. My only real issue with that aspect is that it's definitely veered far off course from it's origins, though I did enjoy a bunch of the nods to the original film (Race Wars, driving under an 18-wheeler, etc).

And I did genuinely appreciate the final few minutes of the film. Nice monologue by Vin Diesel (in Dom-guise) to Paul.
