Reviews

First of all, I'm gonna say I'm not that huge of a F&F fan, and I'm not sure how true fans feel about this, I'm just reviewing from a logical point of view.

The film starts nicely, the whole crew is relaxing with all the fortune acquired from the previous film, and things are going smooth. Then you see Hobbs, investigating an attack on a military convoy in Russia, and he knows who has done it, and with Letty alive, he knows where to look for help. He gets Dom and his crew's help and with some intelligence Hobbs has acquired, they track Shaw in London. They have trouble capturing Shaw as you would imagine, and after a race between Letty and Dom where he threatens Dom's family afterward, the ridiculousness starts. Shaw wants some computer chip that is apparently inside a tank, but you'll find that out later. This chip is in a NATO military base in Spain. Somebody working for Shaw infiltrates the base, he is captured, so Hobbs and the commander of the base decide to follow protocol and move the component, with a ridiculously under-powered convoy. Just two jeeps and a truck, that are so incompetent they can defend themselves from 4 guys attacking them with another jeep. Anyway, Shaw, Letty and one of his men, that apparently has learned how to operate a tank somewhere, literally drive out of the truck carrying the tank and start rolling over and shooting up innocent people, when Letty protests their acts. The tanks chews up cars and move true the highway, the crew are deciding what to do, until Roman drive to the front of the tank and has to hit the brakes because of an oncoming car, yet for some reason, his 1970s Mustang is not instantly crushed under the tank, but it can be explained because the car was moving fast and it didn't hit the tank's tracks, so it's not that off. Roman hooks the car to the tanks with a cable and jumps in Brian's car, and they decide to use the tank as an anchor to stop the tank. Through effort, the throw the remains of the Mustang down a bridge and as they thought, the car acts as an anchor and tanks is overturned, not like it is 80 tons or anything. So they capture Shaw. And now it gets even more ridiculous. As one would expect, Shaw has a backup plan. He has taken Mia hostage. The commander of the base says, naturally, it changes nothing. Then, suddenly, Hobbs pulls out his revolver and puts it to the commander's head and say "It changes everything.", and they decide to let a world class criminal, capable of killing millions of people go, with the military chip that will make him capable of that. Yeah, right. NO ONE would risk millions of lives for somebody they don't even know! I wouldn't do it for the love of my life! But, then again, it's a movie, so these things are expected. Shaw starts fleeing, though he had warned them he would kill Mia if he sees them pursuing him, Tej jams the phones and they start to follow him. Then out of nowhere, conjures an Antonove An-124 that has been able to dodge all the defense systems and land in a freaking military base. Here's where the most ridiculous action scene in history of film making starts. The Runway appears to be 40 km long, while the longest runway in the world is 5.5 km and it's in China. Anyway, Dom manages to board the plane after Shaw, with Hobbs following him. And they start to fight, all of them. the rest of the crew is on the ground and tries to shoot the plane's flaps with harpoons they had acquired previously. Some manage to shoot the wings of the plane, and are unsuccessful. Then Brian and Mia getaway from the plane in a small Alpha Romeo, and with a harpoon that I don't know where they acquired from, manage to shoot the one of the flaps of that gigantic plane, while it's been trying to take off with its nose in the air for the last five minutes. The small Alpha Romeo manges to pull down the flaps, and plane starts going down, and breaks like it's made of freaking plastic. Oh and Gisele died in the middle of all this. The film ends with the whole 'family' having barbecue, and I believe they want to have a 7th movie. I hope that won't be as ridiculous.

This movie, is simply one of the best I have seen. It tricks your mind in a very nice and amazing way, you will believe what you see, then you find out all that was wrong, that you've been tricked, it's truly amazing.

Despite the great story, the direction and all the acting was also brilliant. You just need to watch the movie twice to see what I mean. At first, when you have no idea that Teddy is insane, you won't suspect a thing. But when you watch it for the second time, you will find out just how great the plot has been pulled off. E.g, when Teddy arrives at the island, just take a closer look at the guards. They, as Teddy says, seem "a bit on edge". And as the chief replies, "Right now marshal, we all are." He is just regarding the fact that Teddy/Andrew, is no marshal, he's just another insane criminal, and they are not really happy to him being so on the loose.

I rate this movie 9/10 and it doesn't deserve any less

TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FILM: DON'T MISS IT!!!
