Audio problem: After Dante kills a gunman and licks the bloody knife, the sound of the blade sliding against a rough surface is heard, but it was just sliding against his tongue. It's a more striking sound, but really odd, nonetheless.
Fast X (2023)
Plot summary
Directed by: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster
Toretto and his team are enlisted by the Agency to steal a computer chip in Rome. Dom and Letty stay behind with their son, while the rest of the team heads to Rome. Cipher, wounded and betrayed by Dante Reyes, reveals it's a setup to Dom. Realizing they've been played, Dom and Letty set out to rescue their team. In Rome, Dante traps the team in a truck with a bomb, but Dom and Letty give chase. Dom manages to push the bomb into the Tiber River to minimize the damage. Letty is arrested, and Agent Aimes believes Dom's team is responsible, launching a manhunt with a high-priced bounty.
In Los Angeles, armed assailants target Little B, under Mia's care, but Dom's brother Jakob thwarts the attack and takes Little B to a secret location in Portugal. Tess, Mr. Nobody's daughter, locates Dom and informs him that Dante is in Rio de Janeiro. Dom confronts Dante and agrees to a race, joined by Diogo and Isabel Neves. During the race, Dante reveals bombs planted in their cars. Dom crashes into Isabel to dislodge the bomb, but Diogo is killed.
Letty is imprisoned with Cipher at a CIA black site in Antarctica. They join forces to escape, discovering the black site's location. In London, the team finds their bank accounts drained but receives help from Deckard Shaw, who agrees after learning his mother helped Dom. Aimes arrests Dom, but Dante's mercenaries ambush the team. Aimes allies with Dom against Dante, who has kidnapped Isabel. A sniper injures Tess, while Dante locates Little B using the stolen God's Eye. Dom saves Isabel, and Isabel promises to get Tess to safety. Aimes agrees to help Dom take down Dante, and Dom's team heads to Portugal.
Dante kidnaps Little B and orders his mercenaries to stop Dom and Jakob. Jakob sacrifices himself, enabling Dom to rescue his son. At a dam, Dante traps Dom, but Aimes is revealed as a double agent and shoots down the team's plane. Dom drives off the dam and survives, but Dante arms explosives attached to the dam, ending the movie on a cliffhanger. In Antarctica, Letty and Cipher escape and are rescued by Gisele, presumed dead after Fast & Furious 6. In a mid-credit scene, Luke Hobbs learns he is Dante's next target for killing his father.

Dominic Toretto: Pass it down. Each generation better than the last.
Trivia: This film features appearances from WWE alumni John Cena and Dwayne Johnson. There used to be real-life acrimony between the two, as Cena was critical of Johnson for leaving the WWE to pursue a film career, alleging he abandoned his fans and the business he claimed to love. Cena would later apologize for this disposition after pursuing a film career of his own, acknowledging that he didn't make the effort to view things from Johnson's perspective.
Question: Spoiler! Does this movie actually end with Dominic and his son Brian about to die and the bad guy Dante winning?

Answer: It does - it's a massive cliffhanger leading directly into the next (and apparently final) film. The team's plane has been shot down and crashed, seemingly killing them all (but let's be honest, that's unlikely...). Dom and Little B survive the drive off the dam and crash into the river. Dante looks down on them and arms massive bombs along the length of the dam, they apparently have nowhere to run to... End of film.
