Not bad, not bad at all.

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2011)

To be honest I wasn't going into the theatre with high hopes for Fast Five, another testosterone fest. I was pleasantly surprised, despite the corny one liners "this mission just went from mission impossible to mission in-freaking-sanity" and over the top action scenes Fast Five is a delight. Firstly there is the cast, the acting is not all that bad, The Rock hits the spot as a tough cop and Vin Diesel is also good as the main protagonist. The action sequences are also great, I loved the first action sequence which drew comparisons with Bond films. The very last action scene where Vin Diesel and Paul Walker tow a safe through Rio is nicely choreographed and an incredible joy to watch. The fight scenes while there are not many are also intense and exciting especially the fight between the Rock and Vin Diesel. Fast Five being a typical action movie manages to deliver something to the viewer that excites them and gives them that sense of relief, it's not a must watch but is worth the money.
