Released: April 29, 2011. Director: Justin Lin. Stars: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson. Runtime: 130 min.
Fast Five fills up its gas tank and brings it all to the table. It’s a great heist movie, a great action movie, and lots of fun. It features the finest finale and stunt-work of any movie in the franchise thus far. The cast is ideal and everyone has a great chemistry. Paul Walker is becoming better with experience. I love this crew, and I love the way this crew of criminals are so likeable and human. They hold family dear to their hearts, just like everyone should. The plot is good, and Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is a great character, even if he often has silly dialogue. The fight between he and Diesel has excellent fight choreography. The runtime feels long, one of the plot holes isn’t patched up until the very end, and the dialogue is often silly, but also often funny. It’s still a fast-paced, energetic, compelling ride throughout, and since I haven’t seen the sixth just yet, this is the best in the franchise so far. It’s not only fun, but a good movie, as well.
Score: 82/100

Best one of the series 😀
Second best for me, now 😀 I saw Fast & Furious 6 yesterday, and it was freaking awesome!!
Nice review Dan. Changed the series for me, even if this last one that just came out was awesome as shite!
Same! I liked the first a lot, two through four were average for me, but now I’m a certified fan 😀 So freaking awesome!! My review of the sixth is going up tomorrow; definite favourite of the year. Thanks for the comment, buddy!
