A little police brutality to start things off, featuring Dwayne Johnson tossing another large man around like he's made of straw. The Rock makes everyone else in this movie look like chumps and weaklings.
10 minutes into FF6, they're getting the band back together! For one final (Ha!) job, they'll have to bring in Tyrese, Asian Brad Pitt, and - inexplicably - Ludacris! I never really saw him as crucial or even particularly useful. But apparently they need to pull him away from his busy life of speaking quite poor Spanish so he could, I don't know, complain about the food?
I love the way this film series talks about pardons and immunity like they're just trading cards you can toss around.
Okay, Luke Evans (who played Gaston in the recent Beauty and the Beast) is the villain, and he's driving what is basically an armored Formula 1 car, with maybe a dash of that robot from Battlebots that would just flip other robots over.

I think I've cracked an important code in this movie. The main character's names are "Dom" and "Brian," but these mush-mouths sound like they're saying "Dawg" and "Bruh" when they say each other's names. That can't be accidental.
Oh, and when Brian says "Mia" it sounds like "Man!" These movies really have layers.
Dom's face when Brian tells him handguns are illegal in the UK is pretty good, like, "What kind of backwards land have we come to?"
There are some action sequences in this movie that are genuinely excellent. Number 5 was a good solid action movie, and this one takes the formula and feeds it a steady diet of iron and Creatine. The fisticuffs fly and the cars go fast.
The final action set piece is completely bonkers. Like, think about how crazy it is that they will definitely make a ninth Fast and the Furious movie; that's how crazy the final scenes of this movie were.
Next up, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: The Third as Seventh. This thing really is fantasy epic.
