The Fate of the Furious is the 8th installment of the action movie franchise starring Vin Diesel and once again it delivers exactly what audiences expect: car chases and action. F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) directs an ensemble who drive, fight and shoot their way out of seemingly-impossible situations.
In fact, it’s the cast’s deep commitment to the premise that makes it all work. Whereas other projects include actors who seem to wink at the camera in an “isn’t this ridiculous” sort of way, these actors are all-in. In addition to Vin Diesel, the movie stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood and Kurt Russell. They believe, so I believe.
The Fate of the Furious has some uncredited stars as well: the companies featured in moments of product placement. To learn how product placement works along with behind-the-scenes info about shooting on-location, take a look below:
