“F9” (**1/2 out of four) was the ninth entry in this wildly successful series about the international street-racing team (Vin Diesel, Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, and the rest) who are pulled back into the criminal underworld (and outer space) by a distressed Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) and an escalating battle with Doninic’s estranged brother (a one-note John Cena). Feels like a greatest-hits version of the whole series, with some of the usual explosive action and set pieces, but is the first entry in a while to feel somewhat hollow and routine. Final half hour is a virtual demolition derby and compensates to some extent but this still has the feel of a series starting to run on exhaust fumes. Even Vin Diesel seems to be just going through the motions; film definitely misses the personality and spark of The Rock and Jason Statham (and Paul Walker).
