Fast & Furious 6 (4K UHD Blu-ray + Blu-ray+ Digital Download) [2013]

I love all of these movies. This one was good too!

love all the fast and furious movies

Great movie

The "Fast" movies are definitely in the category of you know what you get. They are faced-paced action movies, with totally unrealistic plots and over-the-top stunts that are set (mostly) around crazy car chases. If you are expecting great writing or acting you are out of luck, although Ludacris and Tyreese do form a pretty good comedy pair. It has torched the idea of needing to suspend your disbelief and into the territory of just going with it and not thinking too hard about it.The movie is set sometime after the events of the fifth movie with the team having received amnesty for their various crimes by helping out Hobbs (The Rock) in Rio. When Hobbs and his partner Riley Hicks (played by Gina Carano) investigate the destruction of a Russian military convoy by a crew led by former British SAS Major and special ops soldier Owen Shaw (played by Luke Evans), Hobbs recruits Dom to track them down using evidence that Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is alive. What follows is lots of explosions, fighting, car chases, and what you would expect. Of course, there are plot twists, and the movie continues to be set before the events of Tokyo Drift so that Han can keep being included (with jokes about getting to Tokyo at some point).For those who get the Blu-Ray, the movie looks and sounds great in HD. The movie uses a blend of CGI and practical effects and they basically look seamless. The extras include c commentary track on the movie with director Justin Lin, several making-of and behind-the-scenes featurettes, and deleted scenes. They all total to just under two hours' worth of extras. You also get the extended edition and theatrical version of the movie. Nothing is really changed in the extended edition, and the additions are "blink and you will miss them" quick. So, very minimal.Overall, the movie is a fun action film that is meant to be a turn off your brain and enjoy it kind of thing. The movies in the franchise have become a tongue-in-cheek action-fest and really do not try to be anything more than that. Obviously, some people love the movies others hate them, and this is probably not going to change your mind about them regardless of which category you fall into.

It is hard to believe that the 5th entry of a series, any movie series at that, is the best of the group. Fast Five did just that with the Fast and Furious movies. Over-the-top action sequences, a great cast of action stars and recognizable faces from each of the films before, and enough ridiculous dialogue to keep the humor both intentional and unintentional. How could they top themselves? Well, watch Fast & Furious 6, and you'll know how.From the post-credits scene of Fast Five, we knew that Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) would be back in part 6. Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and new partner, Riley (Gina Carano), investigate and find that Letty is a part of a new group of hijackers, similar to the crew we've come to know and love from the Fast & Furious series. The leader and main target of this new group is Owen Shaw (Luke Evans, a name to keep tabs on, he'll be a much bigger star in the next couple years). In order to properly combat this new group, Hobbs goes to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), and has him put together his old team. Following the events of Fast Five, the group is spread out all over the world: Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) has just had a baby boy with Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster); Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) parties with women in his personal jet all over the world; Tej Parker (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) gives back to the poor by rigging ATM machines; Han (Sung Kang) and Gisele (Gal Gadot) are trying to settle down in Tokyo. They all get the call from Vin, and the group comes together to help Hobbs. In return for bringing down Owen Shaw, Hobbs will allow them to figure out what happened to Letty, and give them all pardons so that they can return back to the United States from being fugitives.From the moment Hobbs is shown on screen, in a scene where he beats up a man as big as him by throwing him around an interrogation room, you know you are in for a ridiculous treat. The action throughout this movies is top notch, from the first sequence where the group meets Owen Shaw and his team, featuring "evil twins" of everyone in Vin and Hobbs group, including a martial arts ass-kicker played by The Raid: Redemption star, Joe Taslim, and a large muscle bound body builder type, played by newcomer, Kim Kold. Shaw and his team enlist the help of 'flip cars', which look like a cross between Indy 500 racing cars and the futuristic cars of Mad Max and The Road Warrior. The chase sequence sees Hobbs jumping out of a car and onto another one from a bridge, and Letty shooting Dominic without knowing who he is. It's ridiculous, but would we have it any other way? This leads to more epic car chases, macho posturing between Hobbs and Dominic, as well as humorous turns by Roman and Tej. A love subplot exists between Han and Gisele, Brian now is a father, and Owen's past of working with Braga (John Ortiz), the villain from the 4th film, are all made known throughout the film.The action remains the focus, because let's face it, there's only so much ridiculous dialogue that can be said by Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and The Rock. We care about the characters, but only to set up the next action sequence. Highlights are a fight between Rodriguez and Carano (twice!), Joe Taslim showing off his martial arts abilities, and a highway chase sequence featuring a tank destroying everything, including human life, without so much as blinking. At one point in the sequence, you will suddenly suspend disbelief and watch multiple characters fly through the air as if they were non-superhero superheroes. It doesn't matter, the fact remains that it's so much fun to watch, your brain will enjoy anything at this point because of the excellent film-making at hand by director and series takeover writer, Justin Lin. The real treat is the final action sequence that sees the group chasing down a cargo jet on a runway (that might be 10 miles long with the amount of stuff that happens) that features flying cars, fights between everyone in the hero and villain group on top of cars and inside a cargo jet, twists, turns, and deaths of characters, leading to a pulse pounding conclusion so awesome and over-the-top, you'll have to catch your breath afterwards.How could anything follow this? Stick around to the final scene before the credits, and you'll be in disbelief as the series comes full circle and finally explains the strange Tokyo Drift movie and Han's inclusion in all of this, as well as the next movie's villain. The creators of this series, mainly Justin Lin and Vin Diesel, known exactly which buttons to hit to make the series a who's who of action stars today, while creating a cohesive universe of characters for a movie that just started out as a typical action film back in 2001. It hits all of the points it needs to: HUGE action setpieces, a great cast, macho dialogue, hot women, fist fights and gun fights galore, and plot twists aplenty. I for one love every single one of these movies, and cannot wait to see where they go from here. Fast & Furious 7 is coming next year already, now with James Wan at the helm, I hope he can keep up the energy and fun that Justin Lin has brought with Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6. I also hope Sylvester Stallone is taking notes for his Expendables movies, because the Fast & Furious movies are outdoing him by a long shot in terms of action and star power, and they show no sign of slowing down. I'll be the first one to tell you that this is the best movie of the summer so far, and I'll watch this series until Vin Diesel is an old man flying through the air to save his children from driving a car over the top of a skyscraper.

I've been a huge fan of this series, but stopped watching after Paul Walker passed away and wasn't in them anymore. I think they should have ended the series after the last film he made which was Furious 7. Even then, his brothers had to help finish it. It was a nice tribute to him though.

Watching them all

Fast & Furious is a great Action film, plenty of mind blowing stunts, special effects and great cars! The 4K picture quality is Awesome! The HDR colour grading is spot on, giving the film a new lease of life, colours just pop off the screen and the dark levels are well contrasted! Highly recommended!
