Well sure, but couldn’t they have found someone who had nothing to do with the Fast and Furious franchise?
It’s obvious you’ve never seen any of those films. They’re not what you assume (or even what they used to be). They know exactly what they are and Lin does a pretty awesome job at making them as fun as possible.
You are right, in fact I’ve never seen a minute of any F&F movie, as I have no interest. What I should be saying is the action in Beyond reminds me of what I imagine the action is in those movies, all quick cuts, shaky-cam, confused geography, etc.
As much as I love JJ, this is essentially how the action played out in his Trek films. Lin is not much different in that regard (and honestly his FF movies are some of the more competently staged action pics in recent years, believe it or not).
