Fast
and Furious 6 what a wild ride?
4Front's
review of Fast and Furious 6 A
Buckle
up because the fast ride and dangerous stunts are back with
Fast and Furious 6.
Before viewing Fast and Furious 6, I decided to refresh my
memory and watched FF 1, 2 and 3 again. I did not get to
watch part four but I have seen part five. Since I just
recently watched the first three the details of the series
were fresh in my head. For those who can’t remember the
series or haven’t seen it I strongly suggest you start by
catching up on the series now (it makes 6 that much better
if you see all five movies.)
As for the movie, I can only say wow. When the action
starts it becomes an event on its own. If you are a fan of
FF or a junkie for action flicks then you know what to
expect. Every movie has its car chase scenes but here the
vehicles are the co-stars. And the man who knows how to
drive these vehicles is Dominic Toretto played by Vin
Diesel.
Now to the story Luke Hobbs played by Dwayne “The Rock”
Johnson needs help taking down a major international
criminal named Owen Shaw. Nobody knows how Shaw looks but
Hobbs know he has been pulling off his crimes with the help
of racecar drivers. So he decides to recruit some of the
world’s best drivers to take down this dangerous criminal,
and that’s where the Fast and Furious crew comes in. With
an offer they can’t refuse the gang is back together, and
here we go with FF 6.
This movie should definitely fill seats this hot summer
with male viewers but if you think this is only a
testosterone driven movie you’re wrong. The female leads
Letty Ortiz played by Michelle Rodriguez, Mia Toretto
played by Jordana Brewster, Gisele played by Gal Gabot and
Riley played by Gina Carano get their chances to race,
fight and shoot up the place just as much as their male
counterparts. Vin Diesel and the Rock are the tough guys
here while Ludacris and Tyrese give the movie some comedy,
and a little bit of spice. Sung Kang who plays Hun is his
usual cool self. The move has a lot of personalities but
missing is Tego Calderon and Don Omar who were both in four
and five. All six films have a different feel even though
Justin Lin directed the last three. This series has a
formula that will continue to fill movie theaters. The
highway scene gives the audience high filled drama and
intense action, which is only topped by the ending scene.
Good movie can’t wait for the next installment. Stay to the
credits for a sneak preview
