In this third installment, real life arrives.

It is also the story of Liberace, so it is taken to surreal extremes.

The tall, blond Okun grew up, in his own words, "rebellious and wild" in the 1960s, growing up to be part of the A-list gay scene in New York as the AIDS crisis hit.

It doesn't just cement the "Fast" movies into position as the most gloriously big-and-dumb franchise; it drives a car through the cement.

There's plenty of both in this film, but not much to convince or compel. Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 EST
