Review of Fast Five (2011) by Gordon H — 11 Feb 2016
The Furious Franchise Delivers its Best Chapter Yet!
Originally written on September 1, 2011--.
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Jordana Brewster lead a reunion of all-stars from every chapter of the franchise built on speed. Fugitive Dom Toretto (Diesel) partners with former cop Brian O'Conner (Walker) on the opposite side of the law in exotic Rio de Janeiro where they are hunted by a high-powered U.S. strike force led by its toughest Fed (Dwayne Johnson) and an army of corrupt cops working for a ruthless drug kingpin (Joaquim de Almeida). To gain their freedom and win this ultimate high-stakes race they must pull off one last job---an insane heist worth $100 million!
I know this movie came out earlier this summer, but I just discovered it this week. Wow! What an amazing film! So action-packed and just plain awesome! I had seen the first two Fast & Furious movies and thought they were okay, but I had heard that the last two were awful. I really wasn't interested in this one---until my oldest daughter told me how great it was. So fantastic!
