7. Justin Lin
If you want to pinpoint the single biggest reason that Fast and Furious is the most acclaimed action series on the planet, you can point the finger squarely at Justin Lin, not Vin Diesel. The man who took a failing race car series and turned it into a hugely popular, ensemble action series is not to be underestimated (even if he has agreed to direct Space Jam 2). Lin is a true talent when it comes to managing big films. He has a knack for keeping the action rolling without losing sight of the narrative elements that make films worth watching.
