tomr-28618 This film is very entertaining and my favourite Fast and Furious movie. The action scenes are good and the characters are entertaining to watch, especially The Rock as Hobbs. Obviously it is dumb though but it's Fast and Furious and it does it all well.
thomasjay-52277 As the title suggests this is the peak of the series. A good setting which allows for tense action and interactions, decent performances and a more relaxed and grounded plot 5 is a good film. Nothing over the top and easy to watch it's worth your time
emanuelberdie "The strength of Fast & Furious: even faster, and now FAST & FURIOUS 5 is that it is a very united group that lives following moral and ethical codes on one side or another of the law," explains the producer . "Dom has a code, Brian has his own, and even this new character, Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, has one. These codes create friction and conflict, increasing tension. It's great to see how sparks jump. " Vin Diesel, speaking of the reaction of the followers, says: "There are not many action films like ours that revolve around the family or, rather, a family of marginalized and misfits. We saw it in The Fast and the Furious and it happens the same in FAST & FURIOUS 5. The saga is based on a brotherhood that communicates something to the public. It symbolizes the family to which the viewer wants to belong because it will not abandon him, like Dom and his people. " Followers made it clear that they were impatient to see another delivery. Paul Walker recalls Fast & Furious's enthusiasm: even faster: "When we saw how successful he was, we knew there would be a fifth. Normally, the followers ask when the next one will come, but this time they did not ask, they affirmed it ".Adda Annotation Neal Moritz and Vin Diesel, who produce the film, were aware that the next installment had to overcome all of the above. They turned to director Justin Lin, whose work in the two previous installments proved that he could combine a story based on characters with insurmountable action scenes. He was the ideal person so that the spectators did not think that they had already seen it before.Add Annotation The filmmaker, a follower of the saga from the first installment, The Fast and the Furious, knew exactly what he wanted. The film had to be based on an impeccable casting with really amazing action scenes. "There were still a lot of things left to discover," he says. "I am very grateful to the study for not wanting to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Thanks to this, the saga has been able to grow, evolve and mature. That's why I agreed to direct this new delivery. The basic theme of the saga is the family. The fourth installment explored the element of sacrifice that involves the family. As soon as I saw that the next one would deal with freedom and the family, I did not hesitate to return. " He knew that if he directed his third installment, the expectations of the followers would be very high: "The action in this film is greater than in the previous two together. There are about six action scenes, not just car chase, but also walk and steal. The film overflows action ". Although everything had to increase to satisfy the public, the action scenes would not make sense without the foundation of a good story, in which the heroes struggle to protect the family no matter what. Screenwriter Chris Morgan, another regular in the saga, joined Justin Lin to make sure the script reflected this vision. The preparation of FAST & FURIOUS 5 was at lightning speed. Chris Morgan, whose action-packed blockbuster scripts like Wanted / Se busca, Fast & Furious: even faster and A Todo gas: Tokio Race have earned him a well- deserved reputation as a scriptwriter specializing in action dramas, The work once more. "For me, each new installment of the saga is an extension of the first," he says. "It's always a privilege to go back to a story based on strong characters. This saga goes much beyond the races and the tuned cars, it speaks of a community, of a family of pilots ". Chris Morgan and Justin Lin have developed their own style in previous films. "Having the beginning of the filming around the corner forced us to put the batteries," explains the writer. "Justin and I attacked the story very differently, but when we started working together, I do not know what's going on, we always end up following the same path." The idea of ​​reuniting more characters from previous films emerged during the pre-production of Fast & Furious: even faster, but since the plot was focused mainly on Dom, Brian and his companions, it was decided to leave this possibility aside. Neal Moritz says, "When we saw the public reaction with Vin, Paul, Jordana and Michelle together again, we all thought the same thing: 'What if we met them all?'" Vin Diesel was convinced that the tandem Dom-Brian could star in another chapter of the franchise: "Of course, I wanted to continue with the story and I always thought of three stories, beginning with The Fast and the Furious, followed by Fast & Furious: even faster and now, FAST & FURIOUS 5 ". But one of the goals of this film was to bring together characters who had appeared in other chapters. " The idea was good, but the difficulty lay in incorporating them into the story created at.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a gang of dangerous criminals who steals a nice car on a train. They soon find out that the car owner, who is a drug lord in Brazil, has $100 million hidden in a safe in Rio de Janeiro. They plan the impossible heist to steal that money."Fast Five" sees "The Fast and the Furious" series of films transitioning from films about fast cars and furious drivers, to adrenaline pumping action heist films. The transition is very successful, as the story is full of intensity, adrenaline and thrill. I am still in awe of the extended car chase scene around Rio. The scenery is so very beautiful. I wonder how the filmmakers manage to close down a vast part of the city, and get access to favelas, to shoot this film! I am really impressed by this, and I am looking forward to watching the next ones.
