Fast And Furious 6

2 ½ Pipes out of 4

Fast cars, beautiful women and hunky men, fun for the whole family. Fast and Furious returns, without a cool title I might add, I a big way with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson and the rest of the crew teaming with Dwayne Johnson and Gina Carano to take down a criminal mastermind. Diesel and company do not simply have an epiphany and join the police, no they have the ulterior motive that part of the mastermind’s crew is one of their own Leti (Michelle Rodriguez) who had been believed dead. With intertwining plot points from the previous movies, Fast and Furious 6 does a surprisingly good job of keeping the audience interested with more than explosions and car chases, of which there are many. There are a number plot choices that are questionable, for instance what to do with the woman that Diesel ended that last movie in love with. It also astounds me that the CIA cannot find a notorious criminal and in order to find them resort to hiring more criminals to find him. Vin Diesel also leaves his acting depth of the muscle man action hero when trying to show his emotion demonstrate his love for other characters. While this becomes quite awkward at times it was done with good intentions, continuing the Fast and Furious tradition of showing that through all the racing, explosions and death, values and family are what truly matter.
