Fast cars, mean snarls, revenge and of course, swerving between the right and wrong side of the law – it can only mean one thing: the Fast and Furious franchise is back.
Vin Diesel is once again behind the steering wheel as Dominic Toretto, the no-messing, street-wise leader of a notorious racing gang. Dominic has turned his skills to being an international criminal but is called back to Los Angeles when he hears that his girlfriend has been murdered.
Vowing to avenge her death, Dominic finds himself teaming up with old enemyBrian O’Connor (Walker). They get mixed up in FBI dealings, drug-smuggling and some very fast racing, all in the mission to uncover some dark and dodgy dealings and cross the finish line first.
For any man needing a top-up of testosterone and who fancies himself as a bit of a petrolhead, this is the perfect movie—slick cars, great stunts and nonstop action. Those going for a grabbing plot however be warned – apart from some cheeky one-liners and a believable bad-boy act from Diesel, the story stops when the brake is applied
