I may have enjoyed it more if I understood it one bit.

Paul Walker and Vin Deisel are back for yet another Fast and the furious film, Fast Five. Fast Five, in my opinion, will only appeal to those who love the series, and rednecks who love cars. Recently, I've been noticing a pattern in action films: After a while, the action sequences drag on for so long that you lose track of the plot. In Fast five, I was lost within 15 minutes, and the rest of the way.
So, this is what I got out of the plot: Vince and Mia(Paul Walker and Jordanna Brewster) have to break Dom(Vin Deisel) out of jail. I forgot why he was in there because the last film was a blur. Once that happens, they stay in Rio and there's something to do with a heist and a ton of other stuff.
I've seen four of these films, and would say that this one is one of the better ones. Director Justin Lin is talented with the action sequences, I just wish that he could go deeper into the plot. There are a lot of characters, such as a sympathetic cop and some politician villain or something, I don't know.
Dwayne Johnson(I still call him The Rock but whatever, he's bigger than that now I guess) gives a dreadful performance as one of the cops on their tail. I have known for a long time about how bad of an actor he is, and he proves it here.
So, I didn't exactly like it, but that doesn't mean you won't. I'm sure that the film will appear to others, but i'm different from everyone else. I like a little story to follow, I like mind benders that explain themselves. Not a car movie that goes too fast.
