The Fast and Furious franchise gets a lot of hate. While I can see what people don't like about these films, but they are fun, little action flicks, packing in an insane amount of over the top action that demands that you leave your brain in the popcorn warmer. The sixth installment is joining us on May 24th, bringing Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez, Gina Carano, and Tyrese Gibson together for even more high octane stunts (apparently, Johnson jumps off Wembley Arena. I'm there already). We are getting our first look at the movie this Sunday, during the Superbowl, but for now we have the official, letting us know what to expect come May:
Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
