What a spectacular heist

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2017)

This film tells the story of a gang of dangerous criminals who steals a nice car on a train. They soon find out that the car owner, who is a drug lord in Brazil, has $100 million hidden in a safe in Rio de Janeiro. They plan the impossible heist to steal that money.
"Fast Five" sees "The Fast and the Furious" series of films transitioning from films about fast cars and furious drivers, to adrenaline pumping action heist films. The transition is very successful, as the story is full of intensity, adrenaline and thrill. I am still in awe of the extended car chase scene around Rio. The scenery is so very beautiful. I wonder how the filmmakers manage to close down a vast part of the city, and get access to favelas, to shoot this film! I am really impressed by this, and I am looking forward to watching the next ones.
