Fast and Furious 6 (2013)

I wonder how many more movies until we reach the leap from a GTA vibe to a Saints Row vibe. I feel this movie was full GTA 5 wild. Still realistic, but with a little over the top. This time around there are plot twists and connections to previous films. It is actually starting to feel like actually well-written movies. Some dialogue can come across as campy one-liners. The villain is 100% evil for the sake of being evil. No code, morals, or remorse. That ruthlessness kind of makes him a bit more menacing. They are really stretching to keep these movies going, but once the gang is together, they know what they are doing. And yes, the set pieces continue to be bigger and bigger. They also continue to be a solid reference for GTA 5 online. I’m sorry to keep bringing it up, it is just that this is a pg-13 version of GTA! Worth a watch though.
