Enjoyable mayhem

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2020)

Keeping up the momentum from the previous film, the sixth film in the Fast & Furious saga sees the return of Brian (Paul Walker) and Dom (Vin Diesel) as they're once again pulled into doing a job. This time to save Dom's supposedly dead girlfriend, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). And I have to say, it's good to have her back.
Pretty much everyone from the previous film is back, which means that the dream team is still holding strong and this film continues to build their bond together. Both one on one and as a team. And it's easily the best part of the film.
Furthermore, it's still a Fast & Furious film. Meaning fast cars, hot chicas, good music and great action scenes. The fifth film took the action in this franchise to a much grandiose direction and this film keeps up the trend. And I have to say that I love it. The first few films were fine for what they were, but these last few films have simply been in a class of their own.
As for the villain, played by Luke Evans, I have to say that he could have been better. Evans is a talented actor and I've seen him pull off some really impressive characters, but this time he swung and missed. Part of that is the writing, no doubt. I'd actually go as far as three fourths. But some of that is on Evans as well. I simply didn't find him that threatening.
Still, if you've liked the franchise so far, this is more of the same goodness.
