#Movies To Watch If You Loved Fast & Furious 9

Audiences don’t have to think too much while watching a Fast & Furious movie. Christopher Nolan’s movies, on the other hand, require careful attention. And yet, there’s a surprising amount of overlap between “Inception” and the Fast Saga. For one, both borrow elements from ensemble heist and spy films, and they both put breathtaking, impossible action scenes front and center.

In “Inception,” Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Dom Cobb, has a chance to win his freedom and reunite with his family after being falsely accused of murdering his wife (Marion Cottilard). And so, he assembles a crew of specialists played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Elliot Page, and Tom Hardy to break into people’s dreams and steal valuable intel. 

As cerebral as the writing can be, “Inception” is a set piece-driven action movie at its core, with memorable moments that include a hand-to-hand fight sequence in a rotating hallway. If nothing else, “Inception” popularized the use of heavy bass and percussion in musical scores for action movies, thanks to composer Hans Zimmer. Action movies haven’t sounded the same since.
