Fifth is good

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2011)

One normally expects the law of diminishing returns to set in with sequels. But Fast Five is fine.
Diesel, Walker & Co are in Rio looking for a big score, with Dwayne Johnson's crack team looking to bring them back to answer for various crimes (the fact that these guys have no jurisdiction in Rio is mentioned, but otherwise overlooked).
There are a couple of excellent set pieces bookending some entertaining character stuff and plot movement. And when I say "excellent", what I mean is not very probable, but immensely entertaining, with brilliant stunt work interlaced with visual effects so well that you can't tell which is which.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
