The New YorkerAnthony LaneJun 3, 2013
Diesel, of course, slots into the Fast and Furious films as neatly as a dip-stick. Not only does his name remind you of the stuff you pump into a car; when he opens his mouth, he actually sounds like a car. [3 June 2013, p.74]

NPRScott TobiasMay 23, 2013
It's glorious while it lasts, but then the film goes back to figuring out how to keep its oversized vessel from taking on water. Read full review

Time OutJoshua RothkopfMay 21, 2013
None of it makes any sense, except within the high-octane logic of blowing stuff up onscreen. And, in case you’re wondering, sometimes that can be entertainment enough: Slack-jawed euphoria shoots like nitro through the film. (Please be careful in the parking lot afterward.) Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyMay 13, 2013
No matter how silly and outlandish the action gets — and it does become ridiculous — it also delivers the goods its audience expects. Read full review

Total FilmJames MottramMay 13, 2013
Another silly but sturdy instalment that’s as well-oiled as The Rock’s muscles. If the ‘Letty in London’ story doesn’t exactly have that new-car smell, this is still the fastest soap opera on wheels. Read full review

EmpireOwen WilliamsMay 13, 2013
No film that includes a Vin Diesel flying headbutt could remotely be called a write-off, and Furious 6, like its predecessors, is a big screen no-brainer that’s objectively terrible but undeniably pleasurable. A reversal from Fast 5, it’s still a gear above all the other sequels. And an end-credits teaser promises much for the future. Read full review

The PlaylistOliver LytteltonMay 13, 2013
While there's a lot of fun to be had, Furious 6 doesn't quite hit the insane heights of "Fast Five," but we're sure it'll delight franchise fans who mostly want to see bald people butt heads, and moving vehicles crash into other moving vehicles. Read full review

Fast 6 is solid entertainment, but it might have been great if it recognized that a human touch is a rare thing, and when you have it, there's no need to keep clenching it into a fist. Read full review

"Entertainment" is in the eye of the beholder. For me, watching Fast & Furious 6 was more work than fun. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsMay 23, 2013
How you feel about Fast & Furious 6 is a matter of perspective. While a middle-age egghead might note that a series that started out as a harmless cars-and-girls fantasy has devolved into a full-blown assault on human intelligence. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesMay 23, 2013
There is a plot – a pretty clunky one, jerry-rigged with character motivations that amount to one long “huh?” and dialogue that might as well have been chunked out of a cliche generator – but who needs plot when we can have mayhem? Read full review

Fast & Furious 6 might have just as easily been called "Planes, Tanks and Automobiles." Read full review

Bad movies are rarely as much fun as these “Fast and the Furious” pictures. And make no mistake about it — they’re bad. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottMay 24, 2013
Just don't think too hard -- or at all, really -- or else you run the risk of realizing that Fast & Furious 6 is running on little more than fumes, with just a shot or two of nitrous. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyMay 15, 2013
Before, after, and between these (action) sequences, even by the paltry standard of previous scripts, it’s slow-witted and won’t shut up. Read full review

Time Out LondonDerek AdamsMay 15, 2013
With its puerile dialogue, daft performances, flat comic repartee and ear-rupturingly loud sound levels, the experience of watching ‘Fast & Furious 6’ is like listening to death metal pour out of 500-watt speakers while being strapped to a pneumatic drill. Apart from Diesel’s likeably mild-mannered persona, there’s little here that we haven’t seen before. Read full review
