Furious 6 (2013) 7/10

Starring : Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez
Director : Justin Lin
Running Time : 131 mins

Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and his team of thieves have scattered across the world following their successful heist in Rio, but when Dom is offered the chance of getting a full pardon for him and his crew by CIA operative Luke Hobbs (Johnson) just by stopping another team of international criminals he agrees to take on the challenge. One problem – one of the head honchos is his ex-girlfriend Letty (Rodriguez), who he presumed was dead.

I remember when The Fast And The Furious movies were basically about car racing. Now they’re proper crime capers with a death toll to boot. If you like your action movies incredibly over the top, skip through the first ninety minutes of this and just watch the last forty – that’s where all the high octane nonsense lies. If you want something with a bit more substance, check out the first ninety minutes, there’s character development and everything!
