Wilmington on Movies: Fast and Furious 6

If you’re looking for a slam-bang movie full of spectacular car chases and mindbending action, Fast & Furious 6—the latest installment in the tire-burning, dumbfounding Fast & Furious series—is obviously your pedal-to-the-metal hot ticket. It‘s the kind of movie where the only logical (or illogical) response from longtime fans may be ‘”Wowie,“ “yowie“ or “zowie.” But if you’re looking for a movie that makes a lick of sense, or has a line of dialogue worth repeating, or a character or situation that isn’t either a howling cliché or a howling absurdity—take your pick—you’ve come to the wrong pit stop.

Quote Unquotesee all »

“A lot of people bring bacon and Scotch. There’s a great tailgating scene at a lot of these colleges before the show. They put up different Ron Swanson banners, and they will be grilling different Ron Swanson meat items, like the Swanson. That’s a turkey leg wrapped in bacon, and I have to say it’s pretty delicious. What greater fan interaction could there be? This guy at Iowa State handed me a jalapeño Cheddar cheeseburger that he’d made, which I happily consumed, which fueled the comedy that he’d come to see. It’s all hakuna matata, part of life’s beautiful circle.”
~ Nick Offerman On Offerings Of Victuals

“The true punk film of the festival.”
~ Romain Blondeau On Claire Denis’ Les Saluds in Les Inrocks
