moves away from street racing to a real action flick

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2013)

I only though that it could go downhill with the franchise but I can say that this was another great entry. Maybe some will have difficulty with the idea that the street races are a bit left out of this flick and the story sometimes is a bit exaggerated. The gang surrounding Don (Vin Diesel) are almost fighting against the world but the franchise had to fight against other spectacular flicks (the ocean series a bit like this concerning old friends) so they decided to move a bit further with great effects and some nice stunts with cars.
In fact this is just a reunion of characters seen in earlier entries but this flick also brought in Dwayne Johnson (Luke Hobbs). Of course you could see from the beginning that he and Don should have a fight man against man and they did. Also from now on you should have seen the earlier flicks to understand who's who and what their specialities are.
There are enough flicks in this genre but for me the use of the cars gave it an extra thing to watch. Even this time we do have some goofy situations between the characters that gives it also something to watch. To say it's the best so far I can't really say because this one moves away from street car racing towards a really action flick. And it do has a lot of action. There is a part were things drop down a bit after halfway through the flick but the ending delivers the goods again. And to be honest, Vin isn't the best here. Were he carried part 4 here Dwayne is taking over, Vin has a few clichés to add but still, a great flick.
