Vin Diesel’s welcome return to the Furious franchise bodes well for his global fans. The film is No.1 in Britain, Russia, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil. Diesel’s dip into soft guy hero in “The Pacifier” (2005) and character acting in “Find Me Guilty” (2006) could easily have ended his career but thankfully the man of unknown racial origin and gruff voice is back doing what he does best. His sixth outing as Riddick in “The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena” is out later in the year.
