D: F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton, Law Abiding Citizen, The Italian Job [2003], A Man Apart, The Negotiator).
S: Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Helen Mirren, Tyrese Gibson, Kurt Russell.
The franchise has become a ridiculous, soap opera, guilty pleasure. Action here not particularly well choreographed; it misses director Justin Lin.
