Review of Fast Five (2011) by Edward C — 07 Nov 2013

Plot/Summary,Former cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Matt Schulze, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race. Since Brian and Mia Toretto (Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) never misses his target.

My Review.

Man this shit was the bomb not to mention the only Fast & Furious movie with a plot! And I sure as hell can not wait for a sequel to this. Fast Five revolves around Brian O'Conner, played by Paul Walker, and Dom Toretto, played by Vin Diesel, must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. I got to see really great action fast & Furious movie with a plot which is what I have been waiting for. And Vin Diesel and Dwaayne the rock Johnson fighting each other now that's, that's just badass. Action-Packed, Humorous, and Loud, this recent Box-Office Blockbuster gets it right. Justin Lin's direction is spot-on, while the Screenplay by Chris Morgan, targets the masses. The Stunts are truly Spectacular. In fact, they are the life of this action-flick. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is fine.

Performance-Wise: Vin Diesel & Paul Walker continue to be effective in their respective parts. Jordana Brewster is fair. Tyrese Gibson is first-rate and brings in a host of laughs in the goings-on. Ludicrous is good. Matt Schulze, Sung Kang & Gal Gadot are passable. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is absolutely superb in a strong supporting role. This movie is great it's an action movie wanting to see from the fast& Furious franchise and this is one great action flick.
