The fifth installment of the "Fast" franchise is by far the best entry in the series. I am gonna be honest, I walked into this movie thinking it would suck ass because I just hate how the franchise has drifted so far away from what made the original such a classic. That being said, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. This movie plays out like an 80s action movie, they just said "fuck development, where da C4 at?" And I love that approach. The movie picks off right where the last one ended with Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) breaking Dom (Vin Diesel) out of jail. Fast Forward a couple months, with these guys on the most wanted list and with their backs against the wall they take a shady job in Brazil and when all hell breaks loose 3 DEA agents are killed and they are pinned on them. This does not sit with The US of A, they send in there best hunter Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). But, Hobbs is the least of the crews problems they got a Rio Drug kingpin on there ass after the job that went sour. Now, with there backs against the wall AGAIN the guys decide to call in some old friends (Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Sung Kang, Gal Godot, Tego Calderon, and Don Omar) to pull one last job and disappear forever. This movie is super fucking hardcore. There is literally a 2 minute intermission between every action sequence. Again, I thought it being ridiculous would be its biggest fault, but boy, was I wrong. Hobbs is by far the best character in this movie like come on, its The Rock. He is a man on a mission and FUCK is this guy built. Hobbs is so badass he doesn't own any shirts, he just has under armour's which he even wears while doing paper work. I was hoping to see a Rock Bottom but that is literally my only complaint. The fight between Dom and Hobbs is worth the price of admission itself. In conclusion, I would like to say this is definitely the right way to kick off the summer of 2011 and if your looking for something to watch cough up the 12.50 to see this flick. I will see you guys this weekend when I finally get my eyeballs around Thor.
