The Fast and Furious roadshow isn't slowing down a bit in Fast Five, by most measures the best of the bunch, combining fresh casting choices, interesting Rio locales and literally smashing bookended action sequences.
Full reviewFifth movie in The Fast and the Furious series, starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and introducing Dwayne Johnson to the saga. Follows the events of Fast & Furious when former cop Brian (Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) broke ex-con Dom (Diesel) out of custody. While the cops look for them, they've blown across borders. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they've got a final, $100 million dollar heist to pull off to gain their freedom. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) is assigned to track them down.
