Fast and Furious 6 Review

***Fast and Furious 6 Review***

Fast and Furious 6 Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez. The film was very entertaining with it’s over the top action and fighting sequences. When the action scenes happen, they are awesome. Justin Lin keeps getting better as a director, and it’s always easy to understand what's happening amidst the high-speed chaos that inevitably ensues. The film was so amazing during the action and fighting sequence because over the course of the series it’s easy to buy in to the insane logic of people jumping out of and onto speeding cars, or to survive burning wrecks without a scratch. But try to introduce a half-hearted romance, double-cross, or rivalry into the film and the momentum is lost. The script and dialogue in this film was so awful that it makes you wonder why they keep trying. The performances in the film were decent, but Dwayne Johnson and Gina Carano were just terrible in the movie. Johnson and Carano are just terrible actors and the audience can see how awful their performance was in the film. The film was explosively entertaining, wonderfully funny and outrageously over the top good time with intense action and fighting sequences. The film has the most ridiculous plot points and repetitious messages, but when it comes time to unleash some top-draw action, that's when Lin earns his mettle. The last two extended action set pieces in the film are stunners, massive, constantly evolving, and ridiculous in the best ways possible. The first was a freeway chase involving a tank and along a coastal Spanish highway high above cliffs. The second was the finale involves a giant military aircraft and a seemingly endless runway, which was the best thing about the film. I strongly believe that Fast 5 was way better than this film overall. I will give this movie a B.
