With the notable exception of Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty, it wouldn’t be unfair to say that the Fast & Furious franchise’s female characters haven’t left much of an impression. Jordana Brewster’s Mia Toretto has never really been given anything important to do, and she’s been part of the gang for almost 20 years, while relative newcomer Nathalie Emmanuel is relegated to exposition-spouting tech girl.
Gal Gadot was handy in the action sequences, but her Gisele was very one-dimensional, and Elsa Pataky’s Elena was essentially a walking plot device. Even Charlize Theron, one of the finest actresses of her generation, failed to stand out as the underwritten Cipher, although Helen Mirren is always a welcome presence in a blockbuster action movie no matter how little she gets in terms of screen time.
