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.
