444th Review: High Octane Heist in Rio

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2011)

FF5 is a real thrill a minute ride - and given that it's over 2 hours long - it never flags or loses it's way for a moment. There's less racing and more action in this one and it could well be the best of the series - intelligent, fun, exciting, and even some heart, this really does have it all - and it a great guys' popcorn movie.
The action takes place in Rio - and after corrupt cops and the FBI all start chasing our heroes they decide to go for one last big score both for the money and revenge.
Honestly, this is entertaining action, and an absolute knock-out of a movie - don't let the fact that this is the 5th installment fool you - this is full-blown with a real budget and action stars - all in all a truly entertaining movie.
