Why to watch Fast & Furious 6?

If you ain’t looking for fun and enjoyment on the big screen and are rather obsessed with movies filled with drama that you can connect with, then reading this post is not worth your time. But if you feel an exhilaration sweep through you when a Dodge Charger vrooms aloud on the big screen preparing to push its 900 hp power to the maximum, then you are definitely hooked onto the Fast & Furious franchise. With one of the major summer attractions about to arrive in theatres soon, here are enough reasons to look forward to the sixth movie of a highly successful movie franchise.

- For the cars and the races and the cars: The Fast & Furious series has been littered with numerous cars, driven by a number of actors and actresses. These cars have been pushed to their limits, dashed, smashed, spun wildly, raced, rolled, and what not. Hardly ever braked. Not only have the stunts been exciting, but their shooting (crafty camerawork) has also been exemplary with the tension and the thrill resonating with the viewers. It is time to see these beauties in action again, the biggest reason to buy the ticket!

- For Justin Lin: This guy entered the franchise a little late, directing the third movie, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which seemed the end of the franchise back then. But Lin simply pulled the series back from the dead in Fast & Furious (fourth movie) by bringing the old crew back and shooting some of the best car racing / chasing scenes of the franchise. Fast & Furious 6 will be his fourth and last movie of the series as director since he’s refused to work on the limited timeframe allowed by the studio for the seventh flick. So expect insane action in this flick as I hope Justin Lin bids farewell with all guns blazing, maybe creating something more mind-boggling then the chase scene on the roads of Brazil in the finale of Fast Five.

- For Michelle Rodriguez: Presumed dead in Fast & Furious, she was declared anything but in the post-credit scene of Fast Five, allowing her very much to reunite with the team in the latest flick. Rodriguez is probably one of the true tough action-oriented actresses in Hollywood, having starred also in Resident Evil series, Avatar, SWAT and Battle: Los Angeles. She complements Vin Diesel’s character perfectly, and it would be fun to see this toughie back behind the wheels, giving the muscled men a run for their money. To add on to the girl power, Fast & Furious 6 got the former mixed martial arts fighter, Gina Carano too!

- For the brotherhood: I meant, for the big guys of the movie who dominate the screen and for the camaraderie they share. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker (who isn't that bulky, but that’s not the point) will be sharing screen space for the fourth time in this franchise, and it’s a partnership that has grown with time. Their friendship turned rivalry turned friendship has been the cornerstone of the previous movies’ plots. While it is unlikely to turn sour anymore, their ego clash on who is the better driver, still brings out the smiles. Add to that the hefty presence of Dwayne Johnson. He brought the ‘newness’ factor in the previous movie, and there was no way he wouldn’t have been asked to continue his role. Will be wonderful to watch the trio back on screen again, and back behind the wheels!

There would be many more reasons to end up in front of the big screen again on the weekend. But these would do for me. Fast & Furious 6 should be a fun ride, just waiting to happen. Go ahead and enjoy it!
