What kind of watch this is
D.J. Caruso directs this 107-minute entry, which finds Vin Diesel’s character left for dead but unwilling to stay down. He resurfaces for a new, tough assignment alongside his handler, Augustus Gibbons, and a team that includes Donnie Yen and Ruby Rose. The film leans into its absurdity, trading subtle characterization for high-octane stunts and a tagline that treats geopolitics as a workout video. It is not trying to be clever. It is trying to be loud. That is a fair trade if you want your brain off for two hours.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 46% as of November 2024, with an average review score of 4.9 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 42 out of 100 as of October 2025, which it files under mixed or average. The critical consensus notes the set pieces fail to rescue a tired storyline. Andrew Lapin of Uproxx found it striving only to be marketable, not inventive. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the leads but called the action repetitive.
How it did with audiences
The film cost $85 million to produce and collected $346 million worldwide. That is a healthy margin, though not the kind that triggers boardroom confetti. On TMDB, users rate it 6.1 out of 10. The numbers suggest a solid mid-tier blockbuster, the sort that fades from memory but leaves a tidy deposit in the studio’s account.
