The Fast & Furious crew won't disappoint the fans in the latest in this popular series.

The Fast & Furious crew won't disappoint the fans in the latest in this popular series.

There is no doubt the Fast & Furious franchise has been a huge success.

With six now completed and a seventh scheduled for next year, the action-adventures of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Paul Walker (Brian O'Conner) and crew show no sign of leaving us soon.

It is a remarkable effort to maintain the interest and lose little of the edge that has been the trademark of this series.

In one of the best of the franchise, Fast & Furious 6 finds the gang spread out around the globe enjoying their share of the mega-wealth they acquired in Brazil on their last mission.

As fugitives they can live the high life but can't enjoy it with their families at home - until Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) offers them a mission that could end with full pardons and new starts.

Shaw (Luke Evans) leads lethally skilled mercenary drivers through 12 countries where they are acquiring weapons and information that will threaten millions of people.

Only by taking them on in a street battle will Hobbs be able to stop this menace. And he can't do it without the crew. Making matters more interesting is that Evans' second-in-command is the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).

Bringing down Evans requires the crew to unleash their best driving and fighting skills in an action-packed, kill-or-be killed thriller.
