Think 'Ocean's Eleven' on Red Bull

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2013)

I used to scoff at this franchise. "It's just 2 hours of souped-up Hondas and rap music." I said, feeling rather smug. But a funny thing happened. They tweaked the formula, and suddenly a franchise of over-glorified music videos became entertaining popcorn flicks. No, the plots aren't great, the dialog is cliché and the acting won't win any awards (unless you count The Razzies), but I can't recall having more fun watching a straight-up action movie in a long, long time. A lot of it doesn't make any sense if you think about it too hard, but then again it's a Summer action movie. You're not SUPPOSED to think too hard. My advice; Buckle-up and enjoy. 'Fast & The Furious 6' is a good time.
