That's right! This is what summer action movies are about. A fan of the other films, this one tied up some loose ends, but was also one of the cheesiest in the franchise. Not only did I enjoy it, but the critics and other audiences did, too. I was even surprised that the film wasn't squashed by RottenTomatoes.com.
The film picks up where the last one left off. The characters are all trying to settle down until the F.B.I. brings information to Dominic Torretto (Vin Diesel) that his ex-girlfriend, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), is still alive. If you can remember from the first film, Torretto emphasizes how important family is. In Fast 6, the team reunites to save Letty, but uncover something that they did not expect.
Filled with fast cars, babes, explosions, and highly unrealistic action sequences, I couldn't help but to smile during the majority of the film. Audiences are beginning to enjoy sequels more because keeping characters means there is more time to grow and empathize with them. I was glad that after Tokyo Drift, they decided to bring back the original cast.
Torretto is still the worst character, but he's still a bad ass. His friendship with Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) features some of the worst dialogue, but it's okay because we know the characters well now. There's still a love triangle in the film. Torretto is awkwardly faced with the decision of getting Letty back and loving her, or continuing his relationship with Elena (Elsa Pataky).
I don't want to spoil anything, but there is a scene during the credits that is very important and crucial to the series. It was a fun twist that I did not expect. I think I enjoyed Fast Five more, but it was a close race.
If you are wanting to see something fun, then lower your expectations and see this movie.
