Vixo S @vixo_six 1d Fast Five is proof that I can accept almost any level of absurdity when the film surrounding it is entertaining enough. The physics are insulting, the heist makes very little practical sense and the enormous safe behaves more like a weapon from a cartoon than an object with actual weight. None of that prevents the film from working on me. Rio gives the action energy, the expanded team finally feels useful and the arrival of Dwayne Johnson creates a physical rivalry that makes Dom seem challenged for once. Their confrontation remains one of the most satisfying fights in the saga. The story is basic, but the pacing and chemistry make this one of the few entries I am willing to revisit. It is the moment the franchise becomes something entirely different from street racing, yet it also finds the most enjoyable version of that transformation. The nonsense is no longer an accident. It becomes the attraction. See more Andrew T @RT72355796 Jul 21 This is my favorite movie in the entire franchise. The heist is AWESOME! The story is among the best in the series and it actually makes sense. The sex appeal is GOATED! Dwayne Johnson is just being himself and he fits the role perfectly as the alpha male counterpart to Vin Diesel. The ENTIRE crew is together for the first time. Watching the gang solve problems, get over obstacles, and actually have high stakes is fantastic! There is not enough good things I can say about this movie. One of my all time favorite action movies. 9/10 See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 17 Fast Five is where the franchise completely reinvents itself. Rather than focusing primarily on street racing, director Justin Lin transforms the series into a heist-action spectacle, and the change works brilliantly. The Rio job gives the story clear momentum, while assembling characters from across previous films creates an ensemble that finally feels larger than the sum of its parts. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker remain the emotional core, but Dwayne Johnson's arrival as Luke Hobbs injects new energy into the franchise. The chemistry among the entire cast helps elevate nearly every scene. The Rio vault chase remains one of the greatest action sequences in franchise history and serves as a perfect payoff to the film's escalating stakes. Racing becomes secondary to the action, and realism begins taking a back seat to spectacle. Even so, the confidence, pacing, and entertainment value make Fast Five one of the strongest entries in the entire franchise.

See more Daniel L @Hotchopeppa Feb 28 The movie where it stopped being about fast cars and started being about heists. Was good fun seeing the crew assemble and introducing Hobbs. But after this is where it started going downhill. See more Damon G @Dmoney420 Feb 22 Classic best franchise ever made See more Read all reviews
