It's the franchise that launched the careers of Vin Diesel and the late, great Paul Walker, though in the latest spin-off instalment, megastars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham have taken the wheel. The franchise's focus has shifted from illegal street racing to heists and spies, but it hasn't missed a beat in terms of delivering the action we're all after.
The Bourne Collection
