Who would like to see a movie with thin plot and no regard for the sanity and logic of its movie audience? Who would like to spend time and money on a movie with nothing else to offer other than impossible car stunts? Oh yeah, WE ALL DO!
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. (via IMDB.com)
The entire Fast and Furious gang is back, the interaction with the characters benefiting from their experiences together. Some acting may be very wooden still, but hey, it's Vin Diesel talking, who cares!
The cinematography at times is a bit shaky, but overall it was satisfying, as it gives the scene its overall feeling of urgency. The script is thin, but the stunts and the set pieces are soo impossible that you can't help it but abandon all logic and simply enjoy the movie.
My best advice to you is to leave your thinking-cap at home and go in just ready to have a good time. Good review Rod.
