"Fast Five" is the fifth movie in the "Fast And The Furious" series, if you couldn't pick that up from the title of the film. This movie is amazing. Let me just get that out there. The fourth one was was a breath of fresh air for the dying series. This one is more of an oxygen tank. Cause it explodes. The plot is a mix between the "Ocean's" series and the first of this series. The movie centers around Brian O'Connor, Dominic Toretto, and Mia Toretto living in Rio De Janero, Brazil, on the run from the law. When a robbery goes bad, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is introduced as Special Agent Luke Hobbs, a tenacious DSS agent charged with bringing the trio back to the States for trial. The crew puts together an all-star team to take down Reyes, a druglord kingpin who controls the entire city, and steal his $100 million fortune in the process. Cars are smashed, people are demolished, and laws of physics are broken, but it is one HELL of a ride.

Plot: 10/10
Action: 15/10
Special Effects: 10/10
Acting: 10/10
Comedy: 10/10
The Vin Diesel/Dwayne Johnson Beatdown: Fucking Epic As HELL

Overall: 10/10

Final Word: This movie is the best in the series. The only other one that comes close is the original, and even that movie has its flaws. Fast Five is an adrenaline-fueled, no holds barred, action spectacular that knows what its audience wants and delivers spectacularly. It's surprisingly really funny, unapologetically fierce, and damn near flawless.
Oh and you also get the added bonus of Vin Diesel using a safe as a CHUCKLEFUCKING flail-like weapon to smash the fuck out of cars, lights, and a bank. Just icing on the awesome cake.
