Fast Five is off the hook. Taking the best from all the previous Fast and Furious films we have been reunited with our favorites Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. On the wrong side of the law they are meeting up after Dominic’s successful escape from a prison transport bus. Paul Walker’s agent Brian Cooper has chosen love over duty and he and Mia are now as wanted as Dominic Toretto. Special Agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) has been sent by the FBI to track them down, meanwhile they are looking to do one last score so that they can evade capture and spend the rest of their lives in a non-extradition country.
The job they plan on pulling is stealing from the city’s biggest crime boss known as Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida). To do this they assemble the best team they can which includes characters from all the previous Fast & Furious films such as Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Sung Kang, and many more. Vince (Matt Schulze) has already been hiding in Brazil. He provides the initial safe house but after a deal goes wrong and they become enemies of Reyes, there is enough doubt and suspicion to cause an old wound to reopen. When you add in Reyes’ henchmen and The Rock’s Special Ops team, there is a lot of tension to go around. The job they plan on pulling passes from impossible and leads into Crazyland. This film is really insane.
With out giving anything away, in Fast Five you will experience action, precision driving, explosions, heavy weaponry and an exciting fight going mano y mano with Vin Diesel and The Rock. If that’s not enough the film climaxes with the craziest stunt I ever seen in a movie. And it is not just a cool stunt that you see once and then it’s done, this gimmick goes on and on blowing your mind all along the way. As you sit there in amazement marveling at the sheer audacity of it all you find yourself thrilled to no end.
Fast Five is a completely satisfying popcorn movie and is a wonderful tribute to all the proceeding Fast & Furious films. It even sets us up for a Fast and Furious Six. And the premiss is amazing. What a fun film and a great way to kick off the summer. The gang is back and they are faster than ever. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

- My Reviewer's Philosophy: I believe that every film has its audience. One man’s Citizen Kane is another man’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre. My purpose is to help you spend your entertainment dollars wisely. A bad review never kept me from going to a film I wanted to see, but a good review will sometimes get me to a film I never considered. As a movie lover I want you to go to the movies. When more people go to the movies, the more movies get made. But, I also believe that if you enjoy the films you see, you naturally will be inclined to go more often. So join me in supporting our film industry by going to a movie today. Hopefully I can steer you towards a good one. See you at the movies. Melanie Wilson
