I really quite enjoyed F&F5 (2011), but this one has sunk back into the routine car chase and endless pyrotechnics series of scenarios and despite retaining the stalwarts in Vin Diesel ("Dom"), Paul Walker (“O'Conner”) and the more recent arrival "Hobbs" (Dwayne Johnson) it is all very so what? The germ of the plot is that the gang travel to London to find "Letty" (Michelle Rodriguez), long thought to be dead. Now it appears she is working with the nasty "Shaw" (Luke Evans) - but is she? Who can trust whom? It is refreshing to see that the Metropolitan police are no better at stopping the streets of their city being used as a race track - with carnage ensuing all around; even some big red buses take a hit. We have some fun with a tank, and a plane - indeed it's really only an ocean liner that is missing from this quickly paced, action effort. Sadly for me, Evans is not in the least menacing and the ending just goes on for far, far, too long. I did quite enjoy it on big screen, but I can't think I would ever bother to watch it again.
