Fast and Furious 5 *** Director Justin Lin
Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez
The newest franchise of the fast and the furious series is a high octane heist film. Set in Rio it encapsulates tyre screeching chase scenes and intense fight scenes with the brave racer, Vin Diesel, and the genius cop, Dwayne Johnson, throwing their gargantuan arms at each other yet drawing no blood keeping the fight scenes as family friendly as possible. With help from the “favourites” from the past four films it sticks to the same sort of aesthetic as the previous ones with a spruce up from the “Rock”, as he was formerly known, it is a hard hitting picture but you can’t help but feel how long the franchise can carry on for.
