Fast Five

Saturday night saw me entering into the theatre to watch Fast Five. I think I've seen all the previous Fast and Furious movies, and usually enjoy them and this time no different. I had fun, and found myself laughing several times. I had four young men (late teens early 20's sitting in front of me) and I think they were wondering what on earth I was laughing at, but I did find it quite funny at times. The juxtapositions of personalities and situations. I was concerned that the stunts that I had seen on the TV advertisements and in the movie trailers were all that there would be, but there were a couple of others. The stunts are great! Ones in which you wonder how on earth they could pull them off, but they do.
Also, the main actors, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and the other supporting actors all did their jobs well. The muscles on the arms of both Vin and Dwayne when they were struggling made me think "wow they must have spend hours pumping iron to have muscles like that". Women you would enjoy those muscles.
If you enjoyed the previous movies of this series, if you like car chases and speed then I think you will enjoy this one.
As I said I enjoyed it on all levels, acting, speed, crashes, humor and whatever else it takes to entertain one on a Saturday night when they need a little escaping. I look forward to seeing this movie again.
3 1/2 stars out of 5.
