The Fast and the Furious (No spoilers)

The Fast and the Curious?

Curious about what this movie is all about? Let me fill you in.

Hands down one of my favourite movie series to this day. The Fast and the Furious has it all; great story line, plot twists, action, fast cars and scenes that make you hold your breath with suspense. The series contains seven great movies and more to come. The adventure never ends with the movies being filmed in different countries such as Los Angeles all the way to Tokyo and more. 

Every movie has a new story line but is sneakily connected to the previous movies, making plot twists you never saw coming. It's very impossible to get bored during these movies and very easily leaves you wanting to know what happens next. Something I love about this series is that you get to learn about all the characters backgrounds such as their families, which makes you connect with them even more on a personal level.

Top 3 Characters 

There are many characters in the Fast and the Furious movie series but here are just a few of the main ones:

Domonic Toretto

One of the main protagonists is played by Vin Diesel, a street racer and a auto mechanic who plays a huge role in the movie series. Starting out as a criminal in the first movie to support his family to helping stop crime. He has strong morals and family values. Family is everything to him and the other characters, "the team," become apart of his family, who he would ride and die for. 

Luke Hobbs

An agent of the Diplomatic Security Service played by Dwayne Johnson, who teams up with Domonic and his team to fight street crime. 

Brain O'Conner

A protagonist that became a huge part of the movies played by Paul Walker, who sadly died in 2013 in a tragic car accident. In the first movie he was an officer who wanted to stop crime, then committed crime in the second movie, which is how Brain and Dominic become partners throughout the series. Paul Walker passed away in the middle of the making of the Fast and the Furious 7, so they had his brother play his part and used CGI to place Paul's face on his brother's. This helped the directors finish the making of the seventh movie but also create a very sad goodbye to a great actor.   

The action continues...

The Fast and the Furious series sure has made everyone love them... so much in fact they're making movie number eight which will release in April of this year (2017.) I'm beyond excited for this movie to come out considering how the last one ended, which I won't spoil.
