F9-Banner

"F9" is the ninth installment in the increasingly absurd "Fast and Furious" franchise. (COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL)

As my wife and I sat in our car at the drive-in watching “F9: The Fast Saga,” the latest installment in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, she would regularly say “as if” in response to whatever utterly ridiculous stunt had just occurred.

Those two words pretty much sum up the “F9” experience. It is an “as if” movie. How you say those tiny words is the key to understanding if this movie is for you. My wife didn’t say them incredulously but with a grin, as she has completely given into the absurdity this series has increasingly embraced.
