The Fate Of The Furious: 10 Most Insanely-Awesome Scenes

The Team Bullying Mr. Little Nobody
Let’s be very clear here. Scott Eastwood can’t replace Paul Walker. But Junior Eastwood is surprisingly-good in his scenes. Unlike his Suicide Squad role which reduced him to some guy who gets bumped off after fighting alongside the team, Eastwood’s Eric Reisner gets a meaty role here. He starts off as someone who is at the receiving end of the team’s jokes for being the uptight, by-the-book, rookie government agent working for Kurt Russell’s Mr. Nobody. They even slap a “Mr. Little Nobody” name tag on him.
He gets dozens of brickbats from the entire crew. He pisses off Hobbs so much during their first meeting that the latter breaks off his shackles, lifts Eric up, pins him against the wall sideways and chokes him. Roman and Tej lead the charge when it comes to bullying the suits-and-ties agent once they start working together. Eric ends up being a strong member of the team and it won’t be surprising to see him playing a bigger role in the sequels.
