Fast Five - Extended EditionTrailerBestFuriousEver!!! Holy s h i t , that was AWESOME!!
Fast Five is one of best Action Movies I've ever seen and certainly the best in the last 15 years if not longer. Where do I start when describing this to someone? First off,
Fast Five is basically a reboot of the franchise to take it in a new direction, which is something they definitely had to do in order to guarantee its survival as a franchise. While watching the movie, it dawned on me that it was less about street racing and more about a straight up Heist flick. And anyone that knows me knows that I loooooooove Heist flicks and this one was f u c k i n g insane! Insanely good!!! Don't be misled here, there are car chases throughout the movie, but there is really only one drag race though.
But what makes this drag race in particularly enjoyable is who's involved in the race. If you haven't heard by now, the 5th installment brings together every player from the first four films. Of course we have
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and
Jordana Brewster on board. But also showing up for the
ride is
Tyrese Gibson and
Ludacris from
2 Fast 2 Furious ,
Sung Kang from
The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift ,
Gal Gadot from
Fast & Furious. And rounding it out they, even brought back
Matt Schulze from
The Fast and the Furious, which I was really surprised to see myself. Really cool.
But the kicker in this already kick ass assembly of actors and actresses is the addition of
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. If you ever want to know what cool personified looks like on the Big Screen, it's him as
Luke Hobbs, a bounty hunter sent in by the US Government to track and apprehend both
Dom and
Brian.
Dwayne OWNS every scene that he is in and the smackdown between him and
Vin Diesel was off the hook. I felt every punch that was being landed by both. It was brutally good. And that's not even the best part about the movie.
The shootout was electric as the gang gets ambushed and then has to fight their way out. That's not even the best part. The best part is what the entire movie is leading up to: The Heist of the Vault. S h i t , man. Watching that vault taking out EVERYTHING in sight left me giggling like a little school girl on Xmas morning. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing and hollering, all at the same time.
So good! It's this generations version of
The Blues Brothers when it comes to demolishing every Police Squad Car in sight. Seriously, this is one of the best Action movies ever. EVER!!!!!
Highly recommend this as a
Buy. Anyone that doesn't
Buy this is on crack.
Also, stay to the end of the credits for one last cameo, which sets up the forth coming 6th installment. This little twist gets it's own spoiler alert......
