Fast & Furious 6

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

How the hell does a franchise fall completely off the tracks three movies in, rebound and get better and better like this? I think I probably still liked Fast Five better but this movie was awesome and second best in the franchise. The action was awesome. The fights were awesome. The humor (especially from Tyrese) was hysterical. Vin Diesel and The Rock really are the greatest tag team of all time. But the most mind blowing part of it all is that the writing and continuity of it all was awesome. You are not supposed to be able to say that about mindless action popcorn flicks like this, but these guys even managed to tie in Tokyo Drift incredibly and make that pointless garbage entry matter and suddenly seem awesome like 6 years later. And I will go on record as saying this franchise is pretty much the only one that I prefer to see in a crowded theater so that I can geek out along with everyone else with the constant adrenaline oohs and aahs the movie delivers.

I would absolutely recommend everyone check out this awesome roller coaster ride of a movie. Brainless, action summer blockbusters are what made me love going to the movies in the first place. This movie was awesome like that.
