by the love Dom (Diesel) thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The
only way to stop the criminal mercenaries from stealing a top

Few movie franchises can match the cheerfully improbable rise of
the Fast & Furious series, which has escalated from humble
B-movie beginnings to genuine gotta-see-to-believe blockbuster
status. (For clarity's sake, it should be noted that in this
case, "humble" means a film where the camera routinely swooped
through a car's exhaust manifold.) This sixth installment may
take a while to match the cruising speed of its immediate
predecessor (the awesomely overstuffed Fast Five) but once it
does, look out. Picking up more or less where the last one left
off, the story finds the gang of Wacky Racers living off of the
grid and enjoying the good life. Quiet Time comes to a halt,
however, with the arrival of Federal Agent Hobbs (Dwayne
Johnson), who needs their help in stopping an elite team of
London mercenaries. Everything that can possibly collide and/or
explode, does. Director Justin Lin, who has been handling the
series since 2006's Tokyo Drift, goes all out this time around,
bringing back old cast members, reinforcing the endearingly corny
ties between the characters--just try and count the number of
times Vin Diesel growls "family"--and adding Haywire's Gina
Carano to increase the already copious bruising ratio. While such
an attempt at delighting the longtime fans is admirable, the
attention paid to the large roster may baffle viewers not up on
their series mythology, particularly during the rather slow first
act. Things correct themselves fiercely at the midpoint, though,
when a tank hits the freeway in a sequence that should, by all
rights, be impossible to top. Lin and Co. somehow manage to crank
up the volume even further, however, with a finale involving an
exceedingly large plane, the world's largest runway, and a fleet
of cars sporting grappling hooks. If all that wasn't already
enough, stick around for the closing credits, which suggests that
the filmmakers have found a way to up the ante for the next
sequel. You know that old saying about how less is more? Yeah,
that's totally not the case here. --Andrew Wright
