Almost all the pieces here work really well on their own, but they never quite come together in that seamless way that made Five and 6 so special. The God’s Eye/Mission: Impossible stuff never quite meshes together with the Deckard Shaw revenge story. Instead, you have Shaw kinda just barge in like Jason Voorhees into set pieces he’s otherwise not really a part of.
That said, the Caucasus Mountain chase is an all-timer and the way they handled the impossible situation of Paul Walker’s mid-production death remains the gold standard for that sort of thing.
