A NONEXCLUSIVE LIST:Of things with which Vin Diesel has more chemistry during Fast & Furious Six than Michelle Rodriguez, his ostensible "true love:"
  • Paul Walker
  • The Rock
  • Luke Evans (who plays the villain, a mercenary named Hobbs)
  • A bullet he removes from his body by himself without aid of anesthesia.
  • The white T-shirt and tank top that serve as his costume for much of the movie.
  • Each and every car he drives during the course of the movie.
  • The toy car he gives to his infant nephew early in the movie.
(Despite this flaw and that the plot makes little or no sense--there's at least one point where a sniper has a bead on the villain and decides not to shoot for no apparent reason--I still had quite an enjoyable time.)

Edited due to grammar correction from one of our readers.

    The Rock didn't shoot Shaw with the sniper rifle because Shaw's associate had a laser on Vin's chest as well. If Shaw goes down, Dom is going down right after him, so we had ourselves a good old fashioned Mexican standoff.

    Well, at least at that point, Hobbs had indicated that he didn't give a damn about anything except stopping Shaw (though he plainly has a weird sort of respect for Dom), so why not shoot him?

    Of course, there's also a great fight sequence in the film that winds up making not a ton of sense due to a later reveal about the characters' motivations. (Contrast with Now You See Me, which has a reveal that I THINK makes sense in the context of what we've seen before.)

    Oh no, he was not going to let anything happen to Dom on his watch. Heck, that's why he went out of his way to track him. That was beyond respect and into bromance.


    BTW, everyone should listen to the "How Did This Get Made?" about "Fast 6" with Adam Scott. A lot of joy.

    I comment each time I like a article on a website or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
    It's a result of the fire communicated in the article I read. And after this post Untitled. I was excited enough to post a thought :-P I do have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind.
    Could it be only me or does it look like like some of these remarks
    come across like they are written by brain
    dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I would
    like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you
    make a list every one of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
