    Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, and Michelle Rodriguez team up again for some more adrenaline pumping action. This movie takes place after Fast Five. After dealing with being chassed by federal agent Luke Hobbs in the previous movie, Hobbs now finds himself asking Dom and his crew to go to London to help him take down a team of mercenary drivers. Once Dom finds out Letty is still alive he convinces his crew to help Hobbs and help him find Letty on the condition they get full pardons. Once again some of the previous stars through the past Fast and Furious films return, including Tyrese Gibson, (Roman Pearce – 2 Fast 2 Furious) Ludacris (Tej – 2 Fast 2 Furious), Gal Gadot, (Gisele – Fast and Furious) Sung Kang (Han – Tokyo Drift), and Elsa Patakay (Elena) all return for a even more packed Fast and Furious movie. When Toretto and his team join forces with Hobbs (The Rock) you know this is going to one heck of an action packed ride your in for. Hobbs knows only the best drivers can help him get the job done of capturing this criminal (Luke Evans). This movie is even more action packed from start to finish than the last one. Sure there are a few over the top moments as the previous one, but it is still one awesome ride. Just like the original film that started it all, this new and second to last will entertain you and keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think the movies over they throw in a twist which bring on even more action and drama. I don’t want to give away the ending for those who haven’t seen it, but be advised to stay for a minute or so after the credits to see what is in store for the next installment, which also ties everything up just perfect and bridging Tokyo Drift to the present day. Also with the addition of Jason S. the next and final Fast and Furious movie is going to be just as good if not better!

    Usually, the longer a film franchise carries on, the more diluted it becomes – eventually leading to recasts, reboots, and whatever other attempt movie studios can think of to preserve their moneymakers. Just a few of the franchises that have had to reinvent themselves over the years includes James Bond, Batman, and basically any of the popular horror series. Outside of the horror genre, most of the series additions these days are above average or at least average in terms of quality, with The Dark Knight and Skyfall being a few of the best examples, compared to Batman & Robin and Die Another Day being examples of their polar opposites. Now, let’s turn our attention to the Fast & Furious franchise. After the release of The Fast and the Furious (2001), the franchise clearly took a tumble without Vin Diesel in the driver’s seat, spawning two mediocre (yet successful) sequels before “rebooting” with the original cast in Fast & Furious and Fast Five. The majority of that cast returns once again in the fifth sequel, Fast & Furious 6.

    Directed by Justin Lin (Fast & Furious, Fast Five), Fast & Furious 6 stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, along with Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner – reunited once again when Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) approaches them for help to take down a rival crew, run by Owen Shaw (Luke Evans). Shaw’s crew also includes Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom’s former girlfriend that was allegedly killed while assisting the FBI – who has been suffering from amnesia since her supposed fatal car accident. With official pardons being used as collateral to clear their names, Toretto, O’Conner, and the rest of their crew must assist Hobbs in stopping Shaw and his crew from stealing components to assemble a devastating weapon that would have the ability to knock out electronically crash an entire region. Jordana Brewster, Gina Carano, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, and Tyrese Gibson also star in supporting roles.

    After the conclusion of Tokyo Drift, it would have been hard to imagine the Fast & Furious franchise surviving long enough to make another film – but here we are, three sequels later with another on the way in 2014. To be honest, Fast & Furious (2009) didn’t have a whole lot going for it other than it reunited the original cast, but it was enough of a commercial success to spawn Fast Five, which is by far and away the best film of the franchise. With that being said, it was always going to be a massive undertaking to exceed the entertainment value of Fast Five. However, Fast & Furious 6 definitely gives Fast Five a run for its money – due in large part to the addition of another crew that is just as talented as Toretto’s crew, not to mention the return of Michelle Rodriguez.

    Fast & Furious 6 is basically split down the center with two different plots coinciding with one another, the first being the crew assisting Hobbs to take down the Shaw gang, and the second to return Michelle Rodriguez’s character to her once prominent position as one of the franchise’s main characters. The Letty storyline is a bit silly when you really think about it, but then again the whole franchise is pretty silly in itself – since basically all of the characters should either be dead or in jail. Still, the storyline works enough to get Rodriguez back in the mix and to be completely honest, the franchise was really lacking the role of a dominant female that Gal Gadot and Elsa Pataky had been desperately trying to fulfill in the past two sequels. Now that Letty is back in full swing, ***SPOILER – it should be no surprise to see that Gadot and Pataky were essentially written out of the franchise by the conclusion of Fast Six***

    It’s not as though the Fast & Furious films are overly impressive with the overall quality of acting or meaningful dramatization (they star Vin Diesel and Paul Walker for cryin’ out loud), so it shouldn’t be too surprising that these films have taken on a watered-down, soap opera-ish feel to them. Regardless, viewers are obviously invested in these characters, clearly having fallen in love with them and continuing to want to know what happens to them. At the same time, you have to wonder how long these films can keep going at the rate they are progressing – because no matter how many times a character says their predicament presents “another level” of difficulty, it still feels the same as the last film. That’s not to say these films aren’t exciting, because they absolutely are, but the more action these films dish out, the harder it will be to get to the finish line the next time around.

    The best part of these films (outside of the cars) is waiting to see in what direction the story will be taken next. Like the popular Marvel films, the Fast & Furious franchise has adopted the “scene after the credits” to help set up the lead-in for the next film. For example, Fast & Furious was a direct lead-in to Fast…
