F9 (also known as F9: The Fast Saga and Fast & Furious 9) is a 2021 American action film directed by Justin Lin from a screenplay by Daniel Casey and Lin. It is the sequel to The Fate of the Furious (2017), the ninth main installment, and the tenth full-length film in the Fast & Furious franchise.

With a ninth and tenth film planned since 2014, Lin was confirmed to be directing F9 in October 2017, returning to the franchise since last directing Fast & Furious 6 (2013). The cast was finalized with the addition of Cena in June 2019 and principal photography began that same month and lasted until that November, with filming locations including London, Los Angeles, Tbilisi, and Thailand.

F9 was originally scheduled for a worldwide release by Universal Pictures in April 2020, but was delayed several times, first due to the release of Hobbs & Shaw (2019) and planned release of No Time to Die (2021), and then the COVID-19 pandemic. It premiered in South Korea and was released internationally on May 19, 2021, and in the United States on June 25.

It has grossed over $626 million worldwide as of July 2021, making it the third-highest-grossing film of 2021, the highest-grossing American film of 2021, and the highest grossing English-language film of 2021. Two sequels are in development.

I was able to stream this thru Amazon Prime preview for $19.99. I can’t remember when I watched a film that back-to-back-to-back action sequences. Granted this is another Fast and Furious film, however it’s missing the racing and replaced with a number of new and different sequences…..some of them pretty cool.

If your a Fast and Furious fan you’ll enjoy and be surprised with what and who you see in the film, right down to the final scene!
