Film Review – Fast & Furious 6

With its last outing, 2011’s “Fast Five,” the “Fast and the Furious”
franchise reached a previously unimaginable creative high. Against all
odds, it was a vastly entertaining picture that readjusted tonal goals
for the series, dropping most the dead weight car race tangents to run
full steam ahead as a caper, using the limited but colorful cast to
generate an event film atmosphere populated with familiar faces and some
exciting new ones. Rewarded with enormous box office returns, the
producers have decided to maintain the pace, keeping “Fast & Furious
6” (titled “Furious 6” on the print) focused on a Bondian baddie,
wrecking ball-style chases, and pro-wrestling fisticuffs. What’s missing
