As expected, Fast 6 has emerged as the boxoffice juggernaut as it kickstarts the Summer movie going season.
Critics' Consensus: (73% fresh rating at rottentomatoes.com)
While most movie franchises find themselves running on fumes after one or two sequels, the Fast & Furious movies have improved as they've gone along. Critics say Fast & Furious 6 shows the series still has plenty left in the proverbial tank -- its absurd plot is merely an excuse to stage (even more) deliriously exciting chases, stunts, and crashes. This time out, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his merry band of thieves postpone retirement when government agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) asks for their help in taking down a vicious criminal gang that counts old friend Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) among its members. The pundits say the Certified Fresh Fast & Furious 6 is as gleefully preposterous as previous installments, and if you're in the mood for exhilarating, supercharged action set-pieces, you've come to the right place.
