VARRROOOOOOMMMMMM! 1,2,3,4- Fast Five INU Movie Review



Fast and Furious Five. Just a mere ten years ago we were all watching The Fast and The Furious, all wanting that street racer with NOS and an attitude. I wanted that Mitsubishi Eclipse. 2 Fast 2 Furious was a fun romp with the addition of Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris. Then there was Tokyo Drift, with Han (Sung Kung), and then Fast & Furious and Letty dies. This is it, the accumulation of the four films and I think the best of them all.

Fast Five is still the NOS charged, adrenaline filled thrill ride it has always been, better this time because they added a... get this... a story worth watching. Right off the the bat they do the typical "yeah right" moment from Fast and Furious movies past. *Spoiler* They break out Dom. You would have know this from the last movie.  Then they throw in a twist. I didn't expect this at all and it was a welcome addition.

Dom, Brian and Mia are on the run and go to Rio De Janeiro to meet up with _____ , and he has a job for them. Gonna give you the short story. Shit hits fan, one last big score and the band gets back together. Awesomeness happens. It's funny and a fun ride with high intensity action. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson fight scene everyone wants to see. The Rock looks like he has been working out. *Cough. steroids.Cough*

The acting is not Oscar worthy but who cares this is Fast and Furious and if you are like me you know all the characters so well from watching the other movies more than once. You just don't care, you're just here to see the cars. The stunts are epic. The story is an amazing step above anything that Fast and Furious franchise has been before.

My wife and I walked out of the theater and she said' "that was a good movie." So they must have done something right because she didn't fall asleep. (This has happened at many movies and theater shows...often.) So, on that note...Two INUS, way up! IF you haven't seen the previous movies in a while and plan to see this one, watch them again. They use a character(s) from each movie, some small roles and the main characters. Many of the best bits are from characters you maybe didn't remember. Lots of laughs, action galore and a viable story worth the movie ticket.

Wait through the animated credits. What a Twist! Fast and Furious 6 Summer 2013. SWS Out.
