Fast & Furious 6 Extended Edition (2013) review

The poster featuring the whole cast

Why is Furious 7 rated 18 and above over here? That's basically the reason why we went out of our way to rent the forerunner to the Furious 7 movie, Fast & Furious 6. And because the extended edition was up for the same prize, we said what the hell and got that one. The movie picks up right after the heist from the last movie with the entire crew chilling in their respective lives and not having to think about the mess they went through again. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) (I always cringe when he says family, I don't know why) has settled down with his new life while Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) have found a calm life with their new born son Jack (Max William Crane). But when a British mastermind Shaw (Luke Evans) initiates an attack on a military convoy in Russia but in such high fashion that Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) needs to put together the old crew to take down the former British forces soldier and his group.

I wanted to give this film a 10. I really did. But Gal Gadot's acting is just horrendous. I know she's from Israel but that doesn't warrant a Russian accent, now does it? Also her acting presents more of an ice candy replaceable girl #4 rather than an important part of the film. Also Michelle Rodriguez is frowning in almost every scene but she does that everytime and I can't judge her because maybe that's just Letty's character. Anyway a 9/10 it is.
