My Thoughts:
Wow, oh holy action-packed, tank stealing, crap! Fast and the Furious fans rejoice! We’ve got another fast-paced installment into the series. Out of all of the movies in the Fast and the Furious series I have to admit that I liked this one the most. It had me gasping in shock the entire time, as secrets were uncovered, lies were undone, and the truth finally came to light. The characters were as awesome as always, and I felt like the plot was more apparent than in the other films. I was not disappointed by the way it turned out. If you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming. Fast and Furious 6 was as funny as it was action-packed, with hilarious moments sneaking up out of nowhere. In fact, Fast and Furious 6 is one movie that I’d like to go see again.
The old Crew from the previous movies—Dominic Toretto, Brian O’Conner, Roman Pearce, Tej Parker, Han Seoul-Oh, and Gisele Yashar—are back at it again. Having seemingly moved on with their lives, and given up their old lifestyles for a quieter existence, I was looking forward to seeing what jumpstarted the conflict. After being contacted by a Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent, they once again lapse back into their old ways. This time, the task presented from the beginning of the movie, is one that hits-home pretty hard. Letty Ortiz, a former member of their Crew, who was thought to be dead, is seemingly working with the antagonists of the film.
When I first saw the trailer, I was like how the heck is she still alive? Let me tell you, the truth behind the whole thing will leave you breathless. Tough decisions were made, as the Crew goes up against one of their toughest adversaries ever. Owen Shaw was just nuts, the guy was too smart for his own good, but it made seeing the movie all that much better. As always there were the cars—although I miss the Nissan Skyline—the street races, the cool stunts, and the heartfelt mission at the core of the movie. I really felt like Fast and Furious 6 bridged the gap between the other movies in the series, as well as answering many questions that I had after then end of Tokyo Drift. It shouldn’t be hard to guess that I cannot wait till number 7 comes out. Although, I don’t recommend sitting in the nose-bleed section of the movie theater. You need a higher-up seat to fully enjoy the movie.
