I would like to say that this was the perfect movie at the right time. Hollywood has been selling America "B" movies and trying to tell us they are great.
Rarely does a franchise comes out that can continue to haul in millions after 3 movie versions much less 5(exclude James Bond). Fast 5 does not disappoint.
Dominic (Vin Diesel) and his crew find themselves on the wrong side of the law once again as they try to switch lanes between a drug lord and a The Rock, Duane Johnson, who plays a federal agent/hunter.
Do we really care what the story is about? Not really, fans just want to see all the elements from the original: have Vin Diesel kick someones ass and not say much; have at least one race; open the movie with a action scene that keeps you in your seat. Then sprinkle with beautiful women, muscle bound men, and you must have a righteous bad guy. This movie has all of the above. Vin Diesel should never again think of acting in anything else (remember when he left the franchise to be a serious actor), he is blessed to be in a franchise that will not die in the near future.
Verdict:
Perfect popcorn movie, cars, action, location, and the original cast (minus the great Michelle Rodriquez). Keep making these money machines until the wheels fall off.
