6. Fast And The Furious 6

Fast & Furious 6 (alternatively known as Furious 6 or Fast Six) is a 2013 American action film directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is the sixth installment in The Fast and the Furious franchise. Fast & Furious 6 follows a professional criminal gang led by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), who are offered amnesty for their crimes by U.S. Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), in exchange for helping him take down a skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), one member of which is Toretto's former lover Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez). After departing from the street racing theme of previous films in Fast Five (2011) to great commercial and critical success, developers approached Fast & Furious 6 with the aim to transform the franchise further, incorporating elements of spy and adventure film, in the hopes of increasing audience numbers further.

Pre-production begun in April 2011, and principal photography began in London in July 2012, and featured several international filming locations, including the Canary Islands, Glasgow, and Los Angeles. Fast & Furious 6 first opened in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2013, and was released internationally on May 24, 2013. It achieved financial success, setting box office records as the second highest-grossing film released in 2013, the second highest-grossing film in Universal Studios history, and it surpassed Fast Five (2011) to become the highest-grossing film in the franchise. Fast & Furious 6 grossed over $788 million worldwide, ranking it number 85 on the all-time worldwide list of highest-grossing films. Fast & Furious 6 received mostly positive reviews, with critics highlighting the likable cast, action sequences, Lin's direction, and the film's ability to immerse the audience in the high speed chases and conflict between the two opposing gangs. However, many were critical of the film's dialog, and scenes of character progression. A sequel, Furious 7, released in April 2015, eventually surpassed Fast & Furious 6 as the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning over $1.5 billion worldwide.
