GRADING THE TRADES
The Fast and the Furious Will Never Die

At least two more Fast and the Furious movies are in the works, says star Vin Diesel, and the screenplays for those projects are currently being written simultaneously. Says Vin: “We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages.” What? Look, with all due respect to the venerable franchise -- which has given us hours of mind-blowing entertainment over the years -- here’s the plot of both the sixth and seventh F&F movies: Car chase, betrayal, good guys on the run, introduction of plan, secondary betrayal, reunion, car chase, we out. There. I just “serviced the story.” Grade: A [HR]
