So to the 11th and latest film in the franchise. It’s been quite the ride. Off the bat there are some red flags, namely that Justin Lin was hired to direct this and quit after a week.

A documentary looking at the world of watchmaking and clockmaking that also explores the social and philosophical elements of time.

We’ve been on a steady downward slope in how enjoyable these films are, probably since Fast Five. So it’s a smart move to re-hire its director and see if he can inject some joy back into it all.

I’m not sure where Fast & Furious purists stand on this one, but it’s got the name in the title and it’s a film, so here I am. It’s a spin-off though so the ‘family’ aren’t back; it’s just Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Jason Statham. There’s a glimmer of promise here as Atomic Blonde and The Fall Guy director David Leitch is behind the camera.
