Still Shining Bright

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2013)

First of all, let me say, BRAVO for the addition of Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson to the cast of "Fast & Furious 5" by director Justin Lin. If any director knows how to keep a franchise fresh and invigorating for the viewer, it is him.
The storyline is excellent and by the end, the viewer is saying to himself, "what the heck?" The twists and turns of F&F5 keep you guessing and wanting more. The story takes off right as "Fast & Furious" ended, with Dom heading to prison. But what you see at the beginning of F&F5 will blow you out of your seat if you haven't seen it already. It was amazing.
The addition of the character Luke Hobbs (played by the Rock), an antagonist to Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) is a perfect casting job. Even as an authority figure, Hobbs is a very likable character. Kudos! If "Fast & Furious 6" is as amazing as this film, we are all in for a treat. And anticipation for "Fast & Furious 7" just as much, I hear that Jason Statham will be appearing in that film. Think of it as an "Expendables" on really fast wheels.
