“Y'all ever thought about how many wild missions we been on? How we somehow... always survive?
Think about this. We've now been on insane missions around the world, doing what most would say is damn near impossible.
And I ain't got one single scar to show for it?”
The above quote, in my opinion, perfectly sums up the film. A good action flick should keep you on the edge of your seat, with adrenaline coursing through your veins. However, this is the most monotonous and uninteresting picture I've seen this year. You don't experience any emotion at all, and everything feels forced. Actions appear to have no repercussions, and everyone is as strong and fortunate as the writing requires at the time. There is no sense of impending doom or dread.
The acting is becoming increasingly mediocre; and the more the film attempts to push the "Family" narrative, the more unbearable the experience becomes. There are no noteworthy moments, just cliché after cliché. This franchise has come a long way from its beginnings, but not in any appreciable way. There's nothing wrong with crafting a simple action film that doesn't take itself too seriously and serves primarily as entertainment, but this is a poor attempt.

5.0/10 (Worst in the Franchise thus far)
