Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) 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. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (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.

Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of “Fast Five” and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.

The movie received mostly positive reviews from critics. Here’s what some of them said:

“It’s a ripsnorting carmageddon that stylizes automotive annihilation the way John Woo used to choreograph death and destruction with guns and explosions.” – Colin Covert (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

“Happily, amid all the noise, the races — there’s a terrific one through the streets of downtown London — the crashes and the outlandish stunts, there is some humor, and it’s very welcome.” – Jocelyn Noveck (Associated Press)

“Other movies this summer may be good or bad, but chances are they won’t be nearly as unabashedly fun as “Fast and Furious 6″” – Stephen Silver (EntertainmentTell)

“Furious 6” elevates the franchise into saga territory -an automotive “Avengers” as suffused with sincerity as it is bereft of pretenses. Its sweet, nostril-filling tang is unwise to inhale too often, but it’s worth a good whiff every couple years.” – Nick Rogers (Suite101.com)

“[Lin] relies on a hyper-edited style that gives you the feeling of frantic action, but he does have the good sense to slow things down ever so slightly when something really insane is going to happen so that you can gawk, laugh, and marvel.” – Perry Seibert (TV Guide’s Movie Guide)

“Fast & Furious 6” opens today in Philippine theaters nationwide.
