"Fast & Furious 6" is a crowd-pleaser which will leave the crowd anxious for more.

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2015)

"Fast and Furious 6" is everything fans of the franchise have come to expect and should probably please most fans of action movies, regardless of whether they've ever driven fast or been furious before. I admit that I came late to this party. The older I get, the less interested I am in movies that seem to exist just to blow things up (which is why I can't stand the "Transformers" films), but the previous "Fast and Furious" movie looked so good, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did. It was a lot of fun - and so is the most recent sequel.
In this latest entry in the series, the gang is talked into trying to bring down another gang out to steal a highly sensitive computer chip. They're also trying to rescue a character who supposedly died earlier in the series. As the stakes between the dueling gangs of drivers rise, so does the adrenalin. The action and the stunts are bigger and more spectacular than in the previous film, which is no small accomplishment. Of course, in this series, you have to keep pushing the "I believe" button, but if your button is still functional by the end of the film, you will have had a great time. You'll also be looking forward to the next installment. The last scene in this film feels like the first scene from the next one was slipped into the credits by accident - and the apparent villain in that scene is one most action movie fans will recognize and be anxious to see join this increasingly popular franchise. I give "Fast and Furious 6" a "B+" with the possibility of an even higher grade for the next one, based on the last scene of this one.
