Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner are still wanted men.
They are now in Brazil along with Dom's sister, Mia. They were hired to do a job but it seems they were being used by someone and now that someone is after them.
They decide to go after him so they bring in some of their friends to help them.
And at the same time, Luke Hobbs, a government agent who specialises in tracking down fugitives, arrives in Brazil and is determined to get them......
Much like phase two of the Marvel movies, Fast and Furious Mach 2 gets bonkers as the series goes on. The fourth movie resurrected the ailing franchise back from the dead, and it made a bucketload, so it would have been silly to leave it there.
Well it starts literally where the fourth finished, and just as you would expect, its bonkers from the very beginning. But Lin wants it to be a little more bonkers, so what does he do? He gets The Rock, and the rest of the crew from the other movies and goes hell for leather.
Its a fun romp from beginning to end, and once again, its critic proof, full of fast cars, huge explosions, hot women, silly music, and a safe dragging contest come the end.
The Rock is the best thing in this film, looking very angry in every scene, and in some scenes, like he is literally going to explode.
Its a lot funnier than the previous movies, and the chemistry between the gang is second to none.
Its a load of old cobblers from beginning to end, but what enjoyable cobblers....
