Fast five - u-turn for the better
I remember, the fast and the furious (2001) at a party when it came out on DVD, and I thought to myself: "if they do so, a franchise, it's a damn lot of money to be made." With the exception of 2 fast 2 Furious (2003), which has series held at my expectations. Granted, I had not ever expected somewhat high-profile, just a fun action movie about cool cars, police and criminals. This is what I have to get every time, but when I saw the fourth entry in the series, I did something else - a solid film with a good story and solid performance. Fast & furious (2009) marked the series go up by only action feed to a legitimate franchise and it takes fast five up and running. Or drives, rather.
As the film begins, where fast right & furious, left DOM (Vin Diesel) is taken into the prison for his crimes in the last film. Of course, he escaped from prison, and he is in the trailer for the film, so we can take, he is to be divided, and so is the beginning of the spectacular action that follow in the next two hours or so. Fast five is a breath of fresh air when you consider. It follows a familiar formula, establish, by the last movie, because it focuses more on the characters as either fast Tokyo drift (2006) or 2 2 furious. I claim the latter movie on John Singleton, and a vorschnelle production, and I claim Tokyo drift screenplay for weaknesses, but Justin Lin (Director behind the last three films) has had a solid foundation in its intentions. He made the series more character-based than possibly originally planned, and the last two films were given more solid land than they probably deserve. It is not just about the cars, but about the people in them.
Having been a fan of this series since the first one, it is just for me for the characters feel and understand what they're talking about. They are not talk about much, mind you, but what they say, is that in view of the situation makes sense. The entire film revolves around a heist plot, in which the assembled team (pretty much the same from the first four movies) collected are from one to try and steal $ 100 million with the name of Hernan Reyes, Rio kingpin played by Joaquim de Almeida. The dialogue is a bit breezier and less cumbersome progression of the film, but I think she wanted to repeat only dire place this Carjackers are - they are hunted on both ends: by the Reyes thug army and powerful federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne "the rock" Johnson), that goes away with the film from his first few lines. It happens not often that movies like this include really good performance, and it is not often before, that you heard someone say get the were rock, but this one did, and he does. His Hobbs is pure steel, but has an extremely playful undertone, which makes him endlessly watchable. I would like to almost a movie just about him and his job.
The film makes it clear that it a sixth a. As long as these movies are popular, they will not be established. Series such as these are not for the story, they are out for the money. The good news about the fast and the furious is that it is more about the history, and the money just seems, in flows to keep. I am ready for a sixth (and the final scene), after the credits set up hope me blind sided but I completely with the it is the last. When they setup can drag himself into corner pushed, then it a damn good franchise and, which are, but if they will continue, for a seventh or eighth film itself into a ravine off a bridge drive and wait on the cars while everyone's explode dangling in the air. Of course, fast five proves too is possible in the film world, so we'll see. It could so or so, honestly go, seeing as how logic neither physics play much of a part of the world of these characters.
