All in all not a bad movie at all

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2011)

Well I waited until the movie actually came on DVD to view this movie. Being that I have pretty good surround sound I felt that I could get the same effect sound-wise if the action was good. Well I must say my sound system got quite the workout. I quite expected the movie to pick up exactly where it left off with part 4. Then the story moves into territory I thought it would. The only thing I can fault the movie on is predictability. You could see where the movie was going a mile away. Then when they get the "crew" together I figured right away that they were going for the whole (Ocean's Eleven) angle. Especially when the climatic ending comes into play. I had it quite figured out by time it was all over with. I just wished they made the so called 'villian' in this movie a little more 'villanous'. But like I said, overall though this isn't a bad movie at all. It is definitely an adrenaline rush of a movie. At first I thought the stunts would look over the top cheesy, but they were actually pretty good and packed with good intensity. The climatic chase sequence definitely looked a bit more realistic than the climatic car chase in part 4, which I was glad about. All the characters worked really well together as well, and you can tell just how much their chemistry has grown through the years. They definitely play well off one another.
