Who needs realism with action like this?

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2014)

I didn't expect it, but Furious 6 is by far the best of the Fast and Furious franchise for me. The story was for the most part predictable but believable (the same way Mission Impossible, et al is believable), the characters are so familiar little development is needed, and the acting is passable. But the action in this film has been ramped up so much it's an adrenaline rush 80% of the time.
Action in the Fast flicks have always been incredible, but here, it is several notches over that. After the movie, you simply cannot imagine how the stunts are done. All I did most of the time was sit slack-jawed watching all the vehicular action unfold on screen. And this time, there are more than just cars, and much, much more than just car racing.
And as is the trend now, the film ends with a teaser for Fast 7. And yet another major action star is set to join the franchise. Can't wait!
(5/10 for the story but 11/10 for the action, thus the 8/10 score I gave.)
