While not as fun as Fast Five, this is still one of the better Fast & Furious films. The story is solid and gives enough excuses for all the action and car chase scenes that are scattered throughout the film. Speaking of which, there are more scenes with cars in them which is nice. It's fun to watch but it doesn't have the same adrenaline filled atmosphere as Fast Five did. The story isn't as engaging and there is more than just a few instances of retconning (not only does it retcon events from Fast 4 but also from Tokyo Drift) which means that it can feel contrived at times, not to mention that it drags it down somewhat. There were a few scenes where what happened was improbable, I guess it is a staple of the series and it makes for some nice visual effects. The betrayal felt contrived as there was nothing beforehand to really suggest it. While the huge cast creates some good dynamics, it also means that a lot of time is wasted as shots alternate between different characters to show what was happening to each of them.
