Fast and Furious Review of the Sixth

With a movie with so many fast cars, this review has got to be quick. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker return together with The Rock in this mostly fast paced (somewhat slowed down a tad in the middle) movie where Dom's team were millionaires post the 5th movie and scattered all over, avoiding capture while enjoying life. Hobb had to entice them back to action to prevent a similarly capable team from, well, building a powerful technology that could wipe a country. Hobb had only needed to show Dom a photo of Letty who supposedly died and the team is back again, setting off a chain of fast and furious with a minor twist. This time, there's also a tank and a plane in the chase.

Looking for lots of super fast driving stunts? 3/5
Lots of cars? 3/5
Drama? Hahaha, there are some attempts but if you're a fan, I don't assume you'd expect much. 2/5
Plot? Cop recruits team to take on baddies that could potentially destroy the world. Period. 3/5
Would you enjoy the movie? If you're a fan of course! Michelle Rodriguez is back! 4/5 But if you're not a fan, it might just appear as an above average action movie to you. 3/5
By the way, it's already been announced that there's a seventh movie coming and the post end credits would tell you so... in somewhat nasty "Transporter" style.
