Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperMay 23, 2013
Against all odds, the billion-dollar “Fast & Furious” franchise is actually picking up momentum, with “FF6” clocking in as the fastest, funniest and most outlandish chapter yet. Read full review

Chicago TribuneChristopher BorrelliMay 23, 2013
Actually, if "Fast 6" shows any new ambitions, it's by enthusiastically embracing its inner-Telemundo, its heated, knotty "Game of Thrones" melodrama. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMay 23, 2013
“Let’s go for a little ride,” teases Vin Diesel as Dom Toretto at the start of Fast & Furious 6, an amusingly mild suggestion that’s also the only moment of understatement in two dizzyingly high-octane hours. Read full review

Film.comLaremy LegelMay 15, 2013
This is a franchise entirely comfortable with what it is, what it’s not, and what it has to offer. It has a whole mess of “Fast” for us all, and woe be the souls who enter this film hoping to go slow. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Adam NaymanMay 23, 2013
The post-end-credits introduction of another bullet-headed genre-flick icon as the possible villain for the next instalment (already slated for production) means that Johnson may finally get a worthy foil. So: Same time next year, then? Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoMay 23, 2013
At more leisurely, less furious moments, meanwhile, the cast shows the easy chemistry that comes with having now done a couple of these all-hands-on-deck episodes. Read full review

New York PostLou LumenickMay 23, 2013
For my money, Furious 6 is more fun than “Skyfall" and a lot more fun than the deadly dull “Star Trek Into Darkness,’’ both of which ask you to take their silly plots way too seriously. Read full review

Portland OregonianM. E. RussellMay 23, 2013
"Fast Five" and Fast & Furious 6 -- the newest, nearly-as-much-dumb-fun sequel -- play more like "The Avengers" than they don't. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMay 23, 2013
It's stupid but glorious -- Dominic (Vin Diesel) and his crew of high-spirited street racers are hired by an FBI agent to hunt down an international terrorist in London. Ridiculous and entertaining from start to finish.

Philadelphia InquirerDavid HiltbrandMay 23, 2013
The plot and dialogue are still stilted and stupid, but that only proves that Justin Lin, who has directed the last four F & Fs, has his priorities straight. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyMay 22, 2013
Fast & Furious 6 is equal parts Ocean’s movie, Road Runner cartoon, and WWE SmackDown. In other words, it’s more or less the same movie as its predecessor. Read full review

Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallMay 22, 2013
This franchise that won't die began in 2001 as The Fast and the Furious and has pretty much run through every title permutation, so the inevitable next chapter might be called only "The & The 7." Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinMay 27, 2013
The driving in the film is a thing of beauty. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerMay 23, 2013
A satisfying thrill ride, at least on a par with the earlier installments. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyMay 23, 2013
What really sets "F&F6" apart is the blinding speed with which it shifts between over-the-top action, that speedometer inching toward 800 mph at times, and soap opera emotions that bring everything to a screeching halt. It's enough to give you whiplash … in a good way. Read full review

TimeRichard CorlissMay 20, 2013
Furious 6 is even cooler and more aerodynamically delirious than its predecessor, if such a thing is even theoretically possible. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlMay 17, 2013
Everyone involved at last seems to understand that the mode here is comic. Previous entries suffered from self-important glumness that gummed up the fun whenever the cars weren’t racing. Read full review

VarietyScott FoundasMay 13, 2013
Though high-octane stunts have always been the primary selling point here, Lin and veteran “Fast” screenwriter Chris Morgan have labored to add depth, dimensionality and inner conflict to the now-sprawling cast of recurring characters — so much so that, at times, “Furious 6” plays like a glossy gearhead melodrama.

Washington PostJen ChaneyMay 23, 2013
Like its predecessors, doesn’t need CGI, 3-D glasses or even praise from film critics. It just needs to please its audience with amped-up, old-school thrills that make its target demo whoop and holler with every zoom, smash and ka-BOOM. Consider this review a declaration that it does just that. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversMay 23, 2013
It’s kickass trash that never pretends to be more. Bonus points for that. Read full review
