Movies in a Minute: “Fast X”
Movie critic Bruce Miller says “Fast X” has too many characters and a plot that loops like a Six Flags roller coaster. Jason Momoa as Dante Reyes is much better than past villains and isn’t afraid to go out of his comfort zone.

Why didn’t producers of the “Fast and Furious” franchise think of Jason Momoa before now? In the 10th edition, “Fast X,” he slides in as a multi-dimensional villain who’s trying to best Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in the family game. He’s the best addition since the group first staged backyard gatherings.
The new live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” is so stuffed with extraneous characters, lavish orchestrations and special effects, you wonder if there’s room to move. Too many fish in the sea, you might say.
