The number 6 is not a reassuring sight, whether it's Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, three 6s on the infant Damien's scalp, or the 1990s New Labour adviser Perri 6. But despite being the sixth movie in the petrol-head franchise starring Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, this film's got a fair bit in the tank; it's silly but enjoyable. Brian O'Conner (Walker) has become a dad, and his buddy Dominic Toretto (Diesel) solemnly tells him his life will change. Absolute nonsense of course. Soon he's revving and racing and fighting just as in his bachelor days, with his wife's dewy-eyed blessing. Toretto's crew has been recruited by special agent Luke Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, the veins on whose massive biceps are as thick as tree branches.

Cert (UK): 12A

Much of the film is set in London (some Skyfall legacy?) and Hobbs wants them to take down a sinister gang led by ex-SAS officer Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), who appears to have recruited or brainwashed Toretto's ex-paramour Letty, played by Michelle Rodriguez. Rodriguez gets some one-on-one fight scenes with Hobbs's assistant Riley, played by Gina Carano. Rodriguez has some outrageous badass dialogue. To a smart-mouthed tough guy, she snarls: "You're supposed to be Team Muscle. Don't make me come over there and make you Team Pussy." It's reminiscent of the moment Whistler remarked to Oscar Wilde, when Wilde pinched one of his bon mots: "You're supposed to be Team Original Drollery. Don't make me come over there and make you Team Chastened."
