    The official plot synopsis revealed
    The movie will see Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson)
    enlist
    the help of Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) to take
    down
    an
    organisation of lethally-skilled mercenary
    drivers.
    "Since Dom and Brian's
    Rio heist toppled a kingpin's
    empire and left their crew with $100 million, our
    heroes have
    scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and

    living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete," reads the

    synopsis.
    "Meanwhile, Hobbs has been tracking an organisation of

    lethally-skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind
    (Luke
    Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be
    the love Dom
    thought was dead, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).
    "The
    only way to stop the
    criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street
    level, so Hobbs asks Dom to
    assemble his elite team in London.
    Payment? Full pardons for all of them so
    they can return home and make
    their families whole again."


    Plus first teaser poster out

    It shows
    Lettie to be alive
    after the credits in Fast Five, which I enjoyed as a stupid slice of action, the F&F movies are totally guilty pleasures, bar 2 which sucked balls, hell I even like Tokyo Drift but that was more for the setting than anything else.

    Oh I dunno.. 2 wasn't so bad. Classic american muscle cars and whatshername :)

    I love these films myself though.. I think some people approach movies like this with completely the wrong mindset and then complain afterwards. They're never going to make you think and they're not meant to. They're 2 hours of pure escapism and entertainment.

    Christ.Just let the old dog die at this stage. Every one since 2 has been crap. Tokyo Drift was cringeworthy.

    5 is the best one by a considerabe margin imo. Pretty sure that was a fluke though.

    lol... Why would you put the plot in spoiler tags op :D Let me guess it involves sexy women, guys with big biceps, fast cars and guns? Am I far off? :pac::pac::pac:

    I think that Fast 5 is one of the better action movies to be released in the last few years. I'm looking forward to seeing The Rock back for Fast 6.

    I still love the original the most, but 5 was a brilliant movie and really helped bring back the series.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,094 ✭✭✭OU812


    Fast 5 was a fantastic action movie. Almost a reboot.

    It stood alone as an action movie & I'd put it up with the first one for status. Three is the worst though.

    Looking forward to this.

    I'm far more excited for this than I am Iron Man 3 or pretty much any other 2013 big budget action film/summer blockbuster. The last entry in the series was a hell of a lot of fun, I watched it in the cinema and grabbed it on Blu-Ray on release day and enjoyed it just as much the second time. Since then I've watched it a few times, generally with friends who would see it on my shelf and mock me for owning it. They'd watch the film and after spending half an hour making snide remarks would get quiet and as the credits rolled would say something along the lines of "bloody hell that was good fun@,

    I am wrong about thinking they were to film 6 and 7 back to back? I'm sure I read that last year.

    The Trailer looks good I have to say.

    You're not wrong. they wrote the scripts for 6 and 7 back-to-back, but they decided to film them separately.

    Was ust about to post the exact same thing, spolier tags are hardly a necessity when it comes to the plot of a 6th F&F movie :D

    5 was the best bar the silly scene with the towing of the vault

    This.

    Can't wait for this although looks like it'll have vault scenes a plenty.

    The Rock completes the Fast and Furious movies.

    Just watched the trailer.
    They have a tank.
    I'm so going to see this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭tupac_healy


    Having seen the trailer....

    Yeah the series has been steadily moving away from the street racing theme but in all fairness......

    A tank....


    Seriously?


    It will make money for sure but fans of the origional wi always wonder how it could have gone had Lin never got his hands on it, shame really....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,163 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    O yes I will be watching this,tank scene looks cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭Sarxos


    Universal have released a 3 minute preview of the film.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Was kinda worried about this till I seen the 3 minute teaser .taken down an AN 224 plane with spear guns and hot hatches is a tad bit 2fast 2 furious for my liking

    Surely the bottom of the barrel must be worn out by now?

    the series has gotten better as it went on imo, except for 2, which is cack. The first one has aged terribly, that was more about the boy racer culture whereas now they're straight action movies centred around cars


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    These are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me & I really enjoyed the last one.This has upped the ante again in the all out action stakes.
    We all know what to expect with these movies so switch of the brain & enjoy the ride.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,094 ✭✭✭OU812


    In production cost terms, they're also really inexpensive with a massive return.

    I'd predict at least two more of these.

    Seems to be an over the top escapist action movie in the same vein as the fifth one. Which is no bad thing as Fast Five was by far the best of the series.
