This was
supposed to be the last film of the Fast
and Furious franchise; the real last film amongst what seemed many. The
only problem came down to a timing issue for Actor Jason Statham, who was set
to play the final villain. When he was unable to film this one this franchise
set up for Fast and the Furious 7,
boasting even more cast members in the already impressive ensemble. With the
early departure of Paul Walker, the film franchise’s main protagonist from film
one, the last film’s future looks uncertain. Fast and the Furious 6 is not a masterpiece, but it is a solid
action film from the initial racing premise, only slightly less exciting than Fast Five.
Two films prior
had seen the demise of Michelle Rodriguez’s character, Letty, who suddenly
comes back from the dead with a case of amnesia in Fast and the Furious 6. This revelation brings the whole gang back
into action, in pursuit of a mastermind criminal (Luke Evans) leading a team of
mercenaries on a mission to steal a top secret weapon. Teaming up with the
government officer previously hunting them (Dwayne Johnson), Dom (Vin Diesel)
and his team of criminally good drivers set out on a mission to take down this
deadly enemy.
