Fast Five (2011)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Load of rubbish!!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This review contains spoilers.Fast Five is the sequel to Fast & Furious and is the fifth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise. This movie takes place after the fourth installment and follows the Fast and the Furious crew as they attempt a heist to steal money from a corrupt businessman. The crew are pursued by Luke Hobbs, a United States Diplomatic Security Service agent played by Dwayne Johnson.Fast Five is an incredibly fun movie to watch. The plot is actually comprehensible like the first and the third movie in the franchise. The plot is basic but at the least it does not have seemingly random reasons for events to happen. This movie has a plot and build up to the heist that is fun, coo, and exciting to watch.The action of the movie does require the viewer to suspend their disbelief as impossible things happen on the screen. If the audience can do this, they can watch creative action scenes that are well shot and edited. The finale especially does a good job with making the entire movie engaging as the heist unfolds.The cast in general does a decent job. One typically does not watch these movies for the acting. The highlight in this movie is Luke Hobbs. Dwayne Johnson does a great job playing an indestructible agent that is focused on the mission. This character is played straight which leads him into funny situations. Dwayne Johnson has great delivery as this character. Most of all the scenes that he is in feel as if both Dwayne Johnson and the crew are having a lot of fun.I would recommend Fast Five. This movie is a solid entry in The Fast and the Furious franchise and is an incredibly fun movie.

I did not like the first movie of The fast and the furious. I like 2 fast 2 furious. And I like The fast and the furious Tokyo drift. And I like Fast and furious new model original parts. But this is better. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has a lot of action. 7.3 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 7.3 is underrating it. I give it 9. It is a great movie. Furious 7 is a better. But still this a great movie. If you like action movies then you will like this movie. This is a movie that you should see. I is a very cool movie. If you do not like this movie that's OK with movie. But if you do not then I do not think you do not like action movies.

"The strength of Fast & Furious: even faster, and now FAST & FURIOUS 5 is that it is a very united group that lives following moral and ethical codes on one side or another of the law," explains the producer . "Dom has a code, Brian has his own, and even this new character, Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, has one. These codes create friction and conflict, increasing tension. It's great to see how sparks jump. " Vin Diesel, speaking of the reaction of the followers, says: "There are not many action films like ours that revolve around the family or, rather, a family of marginalized and misfits. We saw it in The Fast and the Furious and it happens the same in FAST & FURIOUS 5. The saga is based on a brotherhood that communicates something to the public. It symbolizes the family to which the viewer wants to belong because it will not abandon him, like Dom and his people. " Followers made it clear that they were impatient to see another delivery. Paul Walker recalls Fast & Furious's enthusiasm: even faster: "When we saw how successful he was, we knew there would be a fifth. Normally, the followers ask when the next one will come, but this time they did not ask, they affirmed it ".Adda Annotation Neal Moritz and Vin Diesel, who produce the film, were aware that the next installment had to overcome all of the above. They turned to director Justin Lin, whose work in the two previous installments proved that he could combine a story based on characters with insurmountable action scenes. He was the ideal person so that the spectators did not think that they had already seen it before.Add Annotation The filmmaker, a follower of the saga from the first installment, The Fast and the Furious, knew exactly what he wanted. The film had to be based on an impeccable casting with really amazing action scenes. "There were still a lot of things left to discover," he says. "I am very grateful to the study for not wanting to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Thanks to this, the saga has been able to grow, evolve and mature. That's why I agreed to direct this new delivery. The basic theme of the saga is the family. The fourth installment explored the element of sacrifice that involves the family. As soon as I saw that the next one would deal with freedom and the family, I did not hesitate to return. " He knew that if he directed his third installment, the expectations of the followers would be very high: "The action in this film is greater than in the previous two together. There are about six action scenes, not just car chase, but also walk and steal. The film overflows action ". Although everything had to increase to satisfy the public, the action scenes would not make sense without the foundation of a good story, in which the heroes struggle to protect the family no matter what. Screenwriter Chris Morgan, another regular in the saga, joined Justin Lin to make sure the script reflected this vision. The preparation of FAST & FURIOUS 5 was at lightning speed. Chris Morgan, whose action-packed blockbuster scripts like Wanted / Se busca, Fast & Furious: even faster and A Todo gas: Tokio Race have earned him a well- deserved reputation as a scriptwriter specializing in action dramas, The work once more. "For me, each new installment of the saga is an extension of the first," he says. "It's always a privilege to go back to a story based on strong characters. This saga goes much beyond the races and the tuned cars, it speaks of a community, of a family of pilots ". Chris Morgan and Justin Lin have developed their own style in previous films. "Having the beginning of the filming around the corner forced us to put the batteries," explains the writer. "Justin and I attacked the story very differently, but when we started working together, I do not know what's going on, we always end up following the same path." The idea of ​​reuniting more characters from previous films emerged during the pre-production of Fast & Furious: even faster, but since the plot was focused mainly on Dom, Brian and his companions, it was decided to leave this possibility aside. Neal Moritz says, "When we saw the public reaction with Vin, Paul, Jordana and Michelle together again, we all thought the same thing: 'What if we met them all?'" Vin Diesel was convinced that the tandem Dom-Brian could star in another chapter of the franchise: "Of course, I wanted to continue with the story and I always thought of three stories, beginning with The Fast and the Furious, followed by Fast & Furious: even faster and now, FAST & FURIOUS 5 ". But one of the goals of this film was to bring together characters who had appeared in other chapters. " The idea was good, but the difficulty lay in incorporating them into the story created at.

After Brian and Mia help Dom Toretto escape from a prison transport the three of them flee to Rio de Janeiro where they meet Dom's old friend Vince. He has a job for them; steal some fast cars that are being transported by train… what none of them know is that the cars have been seized by the US DEA and the person wanting them stolen is local drug lord Hernan Reyes. It becomes apparent that they are only really after one of the cars. Dom and his friends take that car and discover why it is so important; the chip in the car's GPS system includes data that gives the location of all the locations where Reyes stores his ill earned money. Dom decides that they will steal the lot but before they do that they will have to assemble a team of specialists. He and Brian will also have to avoid capture by agent Luke Hobbs and his team who believe Dom and Brian were responsible for the deaths of DEA agents on the train.This is a fine fifth instalment in this apparently endless franchise. This one is less about cars than the previous films although they obviously play a key role. Instead we get more conventional action with fighting, shootouts and finally an impressive heist. The action is nicely spread throughout the film and is suitably varied. It all leads to a spectacular, if somewhat unlikely, chase where Dom, Brian and the team race away from countless corrupt Rio cops and Reyes' men while dragging a massive vault through Rio leaving a trail of destruction as they go. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have developed a great chemistry over course of the series and are on top form here. Dwayne Johnson is a welcome addition to the cast as Hobbs as is Elsa Pataky as Brazilian police officer Elena Neves; hopefully both will return in future instalments; the ending suggests that they probably will. The Rio setting is used well without overdoing the 'Tourist Board' shots. As well as great action there are some good laughs; the black guy claiming to be a while guy with a 'great tan' was hysterical as the line was so well delivered. I'd certainly recommend this film to anybody who loves over-the-top action but don't want anything too unpleasant.
