![]() ![]() The first involves a decently destructive car chase in London, where the villain effectively uses his custom-built ride to launch other cars all over the place. The spectacle in this film tries its best to be even bigger, more absurd, and more awesome than before: the film is effectively book-ended with two massive action setpieces. So now Fast & Furious 6 has come out, reuniting the entire gang once more to take on bigger stakes. Best of all, it did so with a great sense of fun: it had great pacing, amusing comedy, great action, and it made the characters stand out as a collectively outstanding cast. Granted that all films have had their fun moments, the fifth film magically tied in every single strand from every single film, and made every single character relevant. But it wasn't until Fast Five when I really began to give a darn about this series. Thankfully, Fast & Furious realigned the series with its roots. Things started off pretty earnestly with Rob Cohen's first film, but quickly careened into odd directions, with the ever-cheesy 2 Fast 2 Furious taking off and running with one main character while leaving the other in the dust, and with Tokyo Drift drifting away with totally different characters altogether. I don't think many other franchises has been as turbulent and uneven as The Fast and the Furious films.
