See a clip of my review here, along with Epic!
Amongst all the violence and car chase scenes; the importance of family was woven throughout the film.
There was a lot of action and suspense, however the movie got a little long, the ending dragged on!
Sexual Content:Mild
- During the race car scenes, woman were shown wearing very little; while dancing and entertaining the crowd.
- There were a few sexual references; one about a male’s body part, and another about liking rough sex.
Violent Content: Excessive
- There were punches, fist fights, character’s pushed against walls, explosions and gun shots throughout the entire movie.
- There were race scenes and car chases. We saw vehicles rolled over and completely destroyed; with a lot of casualties.
- We saw characters jumping from one car to another, while racing.
- Two woman got into a fierce battle. They pounded one another, and wrestled on the ground.
Crude or Profane Language: Excessive
- The f-word was said once. “Sh-t,” “d–n,” “a–,” “b–ch,” “h–l,” “b–tard” and “p—y,” were said throughout the film. I lost count there were so many!
Drugs and Alcohol Content: Mild
- Characters were shown drinking beer and wine in several scenes.

Overall this is an action packed movie that most kids will like. Parents need to be aware of the excessive violent content and profane language. Depending on the child, Fast & Furious 6 is appropriate for kids ages 12 and up.
