Fast and Furious 6

Math problem: If the minimum take-off speed for a cargo plane is 150 mph, and that cargo plane is being chased by an elite team of drag-racers for ten minutes, then how long does the runway need to be? Answer: “You don't turn your back on family…” Logic and physics never really played a role in the Fast and Furious movies. It’s James Bond for the subwoofer crowd, but bigger, louder, and more badass. Go 'Merica! Vin Diesel, who has all the charisma of a flying brick, grunts one line after another of bumper-sticker philosophy at a level of nonchalance even Stallone would admire. The rest of the cast bounces from brooding to smart aleckey. The script is more concerned about being macho than it is about making sense, with a pace that’s forcefully speedy, so as to NOT allow the audience to stop and think for a nanosecond about how impossible everything is. It’s not going to make you a better person, but it’s good for a laugh.
