Kernel Rating (out of 5): 
MPAA Rating: PG-13 Length: 130 minutes
Age Appropriate for: 14+. These movies are known for their action sequences, and this film is no different: lots of things blow up, lots of cars go fast, lots of people engage in fistfights and some shootouts; only some innocent people get caught in the crossfire, and that’s because the villain is a terrible guy with no morals who doesn’t care about normal people! But our heroes do, of course. Also characters wake up in bed together (naked backs and some sideboob, but no actually nudity), kiss and embrace; some cursing; lots of beer drinking. Nothing out of the ordinary for this franchise.
Could the ‘Fast and Furious’ series be the most fulfilling for fans of any franchise, anywhere? ‘Fast & Furious 6’ knows exactly what its audiences want and gives it to them, in a way that is well-written and consistent within its own universe. Who knew something so objectively ridiculous could be this ridiculously good?

Two years ago, when “Fast Five” came out, this was the last sentence of the first paragraph of my review: “You’ve captured my heart, “The Fast and the Furious” film series, now take my money! Take it!” And so, I must say the same thing again now, with “Fast & Furious 6,” which is energetic and engaging and entertaining and, most of all, fun. Let me throw some more money at you, people responsible for “Fast & Furious 6.” You deserve it.
