Not the best one, but could have been worse.

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2015)

Fast & Furious 6 is the sequel to Fast Five (2011) and the sixth installment of the FAST & THE FURIOUS franchise. This film was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the previous films in the series which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. The film was released on May 24th, 2013 and grossed over $780 million dollars worldwide.
The plot follows Dominic Toretto and his crew who has retired following their successful heist in the fifth film, but remain wanted fugitives until they return to the USA at the end of this film. USS Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs offers to clear their records and allow them to return home in exchange for helping him to take down a skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw, one member of which Toretto's presumed-dead lover Letty Ortiz. They save Letty, but Mia is kidnapped by Shaw's team and this leads into a super-intense conclusion.
The story is really well-thought out, but there are a few flaws but that does not stop this movie from being really good. Some of the dialog does not make any sense, but some of the jokes and dialog by the cast makes a lot of sense in some of the movie really cool. A few lines are also really quotable lines especially with our main antagonist when he reminds Dom and the crew saying, "This code you live by, is the very reason why you weren't even in the game." The action is a little over-the-top but it stills keeps me interested. However, the second car chase in the middle of the film was way too destructive in this film, but I really liked it though. But did you really had to try and kill Letty by throwing her off a tank? No. I will admit, the ending 12 or 14 minute climactic car-chase sequence is pretty awesome with a mix of CGI, pre-visualization, stunt work and live-action footage.
The acting is a little confusing, but I will give credit to our main actors: Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, Sung Kang and Gal Gadot as Han Seoul-Oh and Gisele Yashar, Tyrese Gibson and Ludicrous as Roman Peace and Tej Parker and of course, Elsa Pataky, Chris Hemsworth's real life wife, as Elena Neves. They all do a good job. John Ortiz returns as Braga and he does a good job, but he is only in the prison scenes. Gina Carano plays Riley and she does a great job as a villain, at the end, but even then she's a mixed-martial arts fighter and her performance is over-the-top in a few areas, but she keeps me interested in her character until she is killed by Letty.
Our villain is British newcomer, Luke Evans as the role of Owen Shaw, the brother of the next villain, who is revealed as Han's killer at the end of this film in a post-credits scene that sets up FURIOUS 7 fantastically as the evil Deckard Shaw, who calls Dominic with a threatening message: "Dominic Toretto, you don't know me. But you're about to." The music is composed by Lucas Vidal and I am confused because I like Brian Tyler's musical score for the other films in the series, even Furious 7. I don't like half of Vidal's score, but I am glad some of Brian Tyler's music is present in this film.
Also, I am very sad to see Gisele die. That part when Gal Gadot's character sacrifices herself to save Sung Kang's character, Han was a little bit over-the-top. Also, we see Han die again and this was shown in Tokyo Drift, the third Fast and Furious film, that was released in 2006.
So, overall, with FAST SIX or FAST & FURIOUS 6, I both love it and hate it. The movie does a few things right, but the whole idea of kidnapping Mia was a little bit crazy, but this is FAST and FURIOUS, so I'll give credit to the director Justin Lin and writer Chris Morgan for coming up with a great climax. I give it a 7.9 out of 10. It's not the best Fast and the Furious film ever, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse. And I do mean worse, I'm referring to the fourth film, simply titled Fast and Furious, which was released in 2009.
