Testosterone Fueled Fun

It is very rare that a movie is saved by a single sequence, but Fast Five would only be a tolerable action movie if it weren’t for the safe scenes.

The movie is a fairly cliché heist movie. That is necessarily a bad thing, but unlike other cliché heist flicks like Oceans Eleven the movie doesn’t do much in the way of character and style to set it’s self apart from the rest. It doesn’t help that the acting is mediocre as well, and that The Rock looks like he was waxed along with the fancy cars before each scene.

The action sequences are really what put this movie above others. They are directed expertly in a way which creates tension and excitement. They also are able to come up with some entertainingly over the top action sequences to match.

Sadly I wasn’t really able to ge...

FAST FIVE REVIEW

I truly loved this film.the only problem i had with it was that it was really slow and a little bit too long,but I can deal with it.cause this movie proved to me that it's not just mindless drag racing.this film deals with the characters and also deals with the emotions they are going through in powerful ways,now that's never seen in the other fast and the furious films.I truly loved this films.it was a heist and I thought it was a a cever one at that.all these characters feel real and loveable.director Justin Lin does it again,bringing us yet another sequel to the amazing series.I would recommend this one,if you didn't like any of the others,you will have to love this one,it doesn't even feel like it's apart of the series,it feels like it's apart of it's own perfect hiest film.Vin Diesel...

A Car Show, Indeed!

Set in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) team up with other six racers to get their job done once again.

Action! This is one thing that I like on this fast and furious movies which makes me wanting to see more and more. Undoubtedly, this movie has the best picture of car actions. However, its story, just like previous fast and furious movies, isn't good enough to finish a track. It isn't boring because of the actions, but once they just sit or stand there -any scene with no cars- it's an off for sure. The actors delivered just right except Paul Walker and his untimely smiles, I don't know but he had those smiles which are really like "i don't get you man".
