Dominic Toretto and his game are enjoying the fruits of their hundred million dollar heist when Dom gets a visit from law enforcement agent Luke Hobbs. Hobbs isn't looking to arrest or extradite him, though. Instead, he wants Dom and his team to help bring in another group who conduct bonkers car-based crimes. Why should Dom & Co help, though? Well, apart from the fact that this crew look to be stealing the components for a device what would threaten millions of lives, it turns out there's a far more personal stake here: this other crew includes Dom's supposedly dead girlfriend Letty, last seen being apparently blown up in the fourth film in the franchise.
Dom, of course, growls something about "mi familia" and calls in the gang.
I described Fast Five as "bonkers, balls to the wall action", and Furious 6 is pretty much all that and more, as a team of superheroes whose superpower is "cars" goes up against a team of supervillains whose superpower is "cars. And cheating". It's two and a bit hours of gloriously ridiculous action and stunt sequences wrapped in a just enough plot to connect it all together. If you've ever been a fan of the franchise, this and the next film are more or less its apotheosis. Get some popcorn and settle in for quite a ride.
