FAST & FURIOUS 5 (2011)
Featuring: Vin Diesel; Paul Walker; Dwayne Johnson
Director: Justin Lin
Five picks up where Four left off: with Dom on his way to jail in a prison bus. Besides for the now already familiar cast (Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster), from hereon in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joins the fray, albeit as adversary. And that instantly elevated the F&F franchise to a whole new level. And as usual, not only is there plenty of action, but again it is all accompanied by a good story.
This time the action shifts to Rio de Janeiro. After Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) broke Dom (Vin Diesel) out of custody they fled to Brazil. But while planning a daring heist (with a rather familiar team), FBI Special Agent Hobbs (Johnson) appears on the scene to make life even more difficult for them.
However, what is of particular interest about this fifth release is how they manage to draw together characters from almost all the preceding films in the series in this one. For me, this makes this one then also the best of the series so far. Therefor I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
