Fast Five boasts incredible action scenes that are all varied and equally exciting. The film is full of clean, well choreographed shots that are easy to watch and the cast works great as a whole unit, making the film's running time breeze by. Read full review

Dwayne Johnson hops aboard as a stern U.S. agent hot on Diesel's trail, and the whole thing progresses to one of the looniest heists of all time. The result is the most exciting, visually jazzy, and absurd entry in the series. Read full review

What’s interesting is watching the way that Lin has to maneuver in and out of the limitations that the franchise has established, while attempting to push it into new territory. Read full review

Justin Lin, who's now directed three movies in the Fast series, knows how to choreograph and edit an action sequence so that it's more than an onslaught of chopped-up images and grating noise. Read full review

It's great to see The Rock re-embracing the action genre, and when his clobbering match with Diesel finally happens, it's as outlandishly room-wrecking as I'd hoped. Read full review

Overlong but slick, this still gets away with simplistic dialogue and characters, perhaps because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Read full review

If you're wondering why this movie must stretch past two hours, it's because it takes that long to read every item in the cliché dictionary. Read full review

I don't think anyone expected the fifth film of the series to be the best.

True it didn't have too much racing in it for a street racing film , but the use of street racing was one of the main reasons none of the films got good reviews, and because of the fact that the last chase scene is one that you'll never forget. I definetly recommend this film to all, whether your a fan of racing or not.… Expand

i think the film was every good because Fast Five is definitely the best of the series and the most worthy to be called a sequel to the original.

Looks like Lettie is still alive or maybe a start for another movie that was shown after end of movie.Also fast Five is definitely the best made of the fast films so far and i will be fan of fast five for ever.… Expand

You would think that after all the other four films that five would be pushing the sequel's too far. now i can see that, However "Fast Five" is by far the best one out of all of them. i guess because they have put much more money into this film, the budget was an estimated $125,000,000, the film was well advertised and people were more aware of this film coming to the cinema and there was a big "hype" about it coming out. I think the hype towards this film was the audience responding to all the characters from the previous films are now featured together as one "big family" and working together as a team to do this last job. This films got it all, comedy action thrill suspense, muscle and guns and girls in next to nothing washing beautiful cars, i mean seriously can anything top that? watch and see, yet another must see film and will rock your night at the cinema.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay let me start off by saying this FAST FIVE is no street racing film, it hardly has any racing at all in it. But this isn't a bad thing,you see the film kinda plays out like one of the OCEAN movies,they put a team together to get money from a not so good person.Now the film has some amazing car chases and some intense fight scenes, my favorite being a very impressive train sequence.The cast is pretty good with most of the original cast in there with some new faces tossed in there, also returning from the Tokyo drift spin off and the 4th film is HUN, He plays a pretty big role in the film and hints to his role in Tokyo drift are in the movie.Now for some of the bad stuff,the movie isn't much outside of the Amazing car chases and stunts. The story doesn't end on a very good note and some parts don't make any sense at all. But if you are looking for a good time at the movies with some mates and wanna have a laugh and be amazed by awesome cars and hot babes FAST 5 is the movie for you.… Expand

I really admired this fifth installment. With a new style and more intense action, the film takes quite a big step up from the previous films. It's not just the same old mindless car driving, instead we're approached with an energetic and exciting fun ride.

This time Van Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster are on the run in Rio, where they decide to stage one big final robbery. The movie basically becomes a heist flick that's bookended by two elaborate, action-packed chases. Sure, there's lots of fast driving, but it's not about racing. Still, there's plenty of macho posturing and quick-cut fights to add that testosterone edge. NOTE: Stay thru the credits until you get a double cameo surprise.… Expand

Connard Johnson rejoint l’équipée des bras cassés en compagnie du blaireau Walker, de la petite conne brune et bien sûr de l’indéboulonnable Vincent Merdafioul Diesel !

D’ailleurs, comment un cave de ce genre peut-il « jouer » dans des gros navets à grosses bagnoles et gros moteurs avec un nom pareil ? serait-ce Fast and Furious TDI ou HDI Edition ? non, pas de merdes à fioul dans ces films (de merde) quand même ! mais bon, passons et d’ailleurs l’habituel gros con à la boule de billard est rejoint (et poursuivi) par le nouveau gros con à la boule de billard lui aussi : c’est la mode des gros cons aux gros bras mais crânez pas, vous êtes tous chauves, bande de gros cons !

Donc dans cette foire aux gros cons, on retrouve les cascades des gros cons qui font n’imp’ au gré d’un scénar de vieux nanar périmenaze mais avec des ordinateurs pour leur souffler dans le cul, ce qui accentue encore (évidemment) un peu plus tout le ridicule de ces prétendues cascades pour gros cons.

A part ça rien de nouveau, c’est toujours aussi con, Fast and Furious ! ils n’ont toujours pas inventé l’eau chaude ; ça reste souvent bien ramolli et même sans leurs bagnoles, ils ont toujours l’air con d’autant que la moindre « séquence » à pied, de baston ou de fusillade est très, très mal filmée : c’est cuté, zoomé et mové parce que ça plaît aux jeunes kévins (le public ciblé) quand la caméra bouge dans tous les sens et que le film entier ressemble à un clip MTV, accompagné d’une musique de merde, bien entendu.

Bref, impossible d’aller au bout de ce truc, même en mettant la télécommande en mode turbo, car même en avance rapide, figurez-vous que c’est toujours aussi con. Et chiant. Allez, FF5, direction la casse avec tes **** copains, comme d’habitude !… Expand
