Fast & Furious 6

Fast & Furious 6

Rating 7 out of 10

This is the type of Summer action movie we expect and most of us enjoy when the weather starts to warm up.  Do we expect a complicated plot or extremely well written dialog? Not even close.  With any of the Fast movies you expect fast cars, pretty scenery and good looking actors with hot bods.  That  is exactly what you get with Fast & Furious 6.  No more, no less.

We find our Furious group a few years after their last heist in Five that left them all very rich yet wanted men and women and unable to ever go back home.  Super Agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson- muscles so big they look like they they were blown up with an air compressor) is still chasing bad guys around the world now with his side kick Agent Riley (played by the butt kicking Gina Carano).  When Hobbs comes across the ultimate bad guy he realizes the only way he can take him down is with the help of Dominic Torreto (the also buff Vin Diesel) and his gang of fast driving outlaws.  Torreto is skeptical about helping out until he sees a recent picture of old flame Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) whom we buried a few Fast's ago.

That's about as complicated as the plot gets.  Lots of very fast cars and everyone is good looking.  Even the bad guys.  Lots of things go boom.  Really go boom.  The action is very over the top as you would expect.  So over the top it had me laughing out loud harder than most comedies.  Lots of good fight scenes.  One on a plane on the longest runway known to man.

This is good popcorn fun that won't win any awards.  Stick around after the movie and see what's up for Furious 7.   I enjoyed it.
