Fast Five

Fast Five

Where do I start... This movie was action from start to finish, and seeing all the characters from the first 3 movies (minus Tokyo Drift) was a very pleasant bonus. Lets start with Dom (Vin's character) being breaking out of prison or prison bus, we knew it was coming but man wow what a start no complaints about that. Brian (Paul's character) with the help of Dom's sister Mia (played by Jordana Brewster) and members of Dom's crew break him out of prison. Que to the trio doing their best to elude the authorities that are hot on their trial looking for them. They are doing their best to ensure that they remain free and not behind bars for the rest of their lives. Now the group find themselves in Rio and they are thus backed into a corner and the only way to get themselves out of this mess is to pull off one last job, bigger than they have ever did before. Before they can have the freedom and peace that they so want, they need to confront a dangerous business man and also the federal agent (played by Dwayne Johnson) who is also hot on their trails. As the story progress' federal agent Hobbs learns that it is getting harder to separate who the criminals and non criminals are. Hobbs then has to rely on his instincts in order to corner and capture his prey. All leading up to the explosive finale and fight between Dom and Hobbs, that ended with Mia asking both men to stop. We see Dom realizing that it is time to put an end  to what's going on. As the group is in transport to be arrested and taken into custody, they are ambushed by Joaquim's men and he is not giving up until everyone in Dom's circle is killed. Dom has the hard task of trying to decide if what he is doing is right and if it is the right thing for his new found family that has grown. We see lines crossed and old and new relationships develop and grow strong, and we see new allies being developed. I so totally recommend this movie as I stated above action from start to finish. the storyline fits perfect and the actors deliever it and bring their a-game, and now that it is out on dvd it is a must have in every one's dvd collection.
