    Q&A with director  Fast & Furious, but without Vin Diesel and the "FAMILY" meme. Instead, we get a female Ryan Gosling (she drive), but aside from that, she's nowhere near "LITERALLY ME."

    Obviously, just so we are clear, don’t expect Weekend in Taipei to be on par with movies like John Wick, but it is not far behind, in all honesty? Well kinda? If you’re a fan of the genre, “Weekend in Taipei“ offers you really a fun ride. It has explosive stunts, an…

    Weekend in Taipei

    This could have been something special, but what we got is still a pleasant diversion that excels when it lets Steven Yeun chew the scenery.

    Expected and needed more fight scenes. Started off strong with that, then barely any.
