The story is just terrible as well! I have no idea, how people can support this franchise!… Expand

I only saw the first 15 minutes of the movie, and I do not really taste anything bad, I felt so uncomfortable to see Diesel is the worst actors I've seen, I lost myself in the scenes, went in one side and out of the other (literally). very disgusting

I guess it was the B+ from the A.V. Club. Stupid. Paul Walker is the least charismatic actor I've ever seen on the big screen. Vin Diesel seems to be caricaturing himself. The Rock, of course IS caricaturing himself, which yields the only mild entertainment of the movie apart form the fantastic train seen at the beginning. The rest of the movie is horribly scripted, pathetically acted, rote B-movie action with an A-movie budget. This movie makes me wish I could take back the "2" I just gave Hanna, which was also awful but provided far more entertaining minutes than Fast Five. A.V. Club: you owe me 2+ hours of my life back.… Expand

Seriously I don't like any Fast & Furious movies. There are too many Hollywood sequels, too long. Movies like Resident Evil, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter. Just make at least 2 then finish.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In chronicling the travails of the Brazilian underclass, "Fast Five" is no "Pixote", the Hector Babenco neo-realist classic about lost childhood, but at least it pays lip service to the poor, which is marginally better than an amoral filmmaker such as Michael Bay, whose infamous chase sequence involving Hummers laying waste to a Cuban hillside shantytown in "Bad Boys 2", makes almost no filmic reference to the impoverished people who reside there. The human collateral damage caused by the SUVs goes unacknowledged by both the driver(Will Smith) and the passenger(Martin Lawrence), because a third-world citizen isn't the equivalent of a first-world one. So even though the U.S. feds(led by Dwayne Johnson), in "Fast Five", chase Dominic Toretto and his friends through an honest-to-goodness favela, firing at will without any self-consciousness about nicking an innocent bystander, the exotic on-location set is not utilized merely as background for a standard Hollywood-style shootout. On the lam from the law, Vince, last seen in "The Fast and the Furious", has been hiding out in the Rio slums for the past ten years, and during the interim, he marries a Brazilian local and fathers a child with her. Likewise, since Canada is too easy, Dom, a recently escaped convict, joins his old childhood friend, along with ex-cop Brian O'Conner and Dom's sister Mia, who are also wanted for their part in the bus hijacking that frees the bald linchpin en route to a federal penitentiary. Despite the fact that all the Portuguese-speaking parts are assigned to crooked cops and criminals, the filmmaker does attempt to put a human face on the favela inhabitants. When Rosa allows the fairer Toretto to put little Nico to sleep, both the mother and child are signified as people through Mia's Americanism. By proxy, they're no longer just ordinary Brazilians. And then there's Elena, a neighborhood girl-turned-cop who, initially anyway, is seemingly the only honest law officer in all of Rio de Janerio. More interaction with the visiting fugitives would further distance the Rio locals from the same filmic life of faceless anonymity that confronts other third-world denizens whose respective countries serve as a backdrop for some crisis which often doesn't include them. While "Fast Five" has just enough cultural sensitivity to stave off comparisons with a Michael Bay production, it still, however, bears the unmistakable stench of American imperialism. (For instance, the scene where the ersatz "Ocean's Eleven"-like outfit brazenly race in police cars.) The filmmaker wants the moviegoer to care about Rosa, but not necessarily her countrymen. We never get to meet them. When Mia goes to an open market, her visit is cut short before she gets the chance to talk with a vendor, somebody other than Rosa who'd give the favela populace a collective identity. Thanks to Vince, the ambushing of Mia, orchestrated by Reyes(the unofficial "governor" of Rio), goes awry, so the quota on Brazilian kidnappings, at least one a day according to the Jason Kohn documentary "Manda Bala(Send a Bullet)", gets left to some other Portuguese goon and his henchmen. Contrary to Brazil's reputation as a glamorous tourist destination, the South American country with the seventh highest GDP is plagued by high crime rates, nefarious government officials, and a disproportionate amount of poor people. In "Manda Bala", a frog farmer, who was thought to be involved in a money-laundering scheme with then-Governor Jader Barbalho, tells the camera proudly that he chose the frogs, after his wife issued him an ultimatum which put the small businessman's aquaculture business in opposition with their marriage. The money was just too good. Love, both the brotherly and romantic kind, also takes a backseat in "Fast Five", as well, since Mia is allowed to go out alone, unescorted, without notice. Dominic and Brian are too busy mulling over their potential hundred-million dollar payday. This cast of characters were a whole lot more likable when they were rebels without a cause, mere small-time crooks who'd boost semi trucks at great risk for the incommensurate payoff of DVD players in the Rob Cohen original. By sequestering the thieves from the natives, the ugliness of their greed will go unnoticed by most moviegoers, who are conditioned to root for the good guys, or at the very least, the anti-heroes. Sure, they give Vince's widow a cut of the money, but that's a mere pittance in lieu of the innumerable poverty-stricken Brazilians who wallow in abject destitution. It's one thing to steal from Americans on domestic soil, but it's a whole other thing to steal from the people of a developing country. "Fast Five" is a film of its time. This updating of Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Eleven" very much captures the zeitgeist of the post-economic collapse. These criminals don't give a f*ck about who they steal from, as long as they get paid.… Expand

IÂ´m (was...) a fan of the first movie and was very happy to see a FF in my hometown Rio de Janeiro, but they trashed their unique chance. Rio is not an old west city without law and it is one of the most beautiful and pleasant cities of the world. Unlike USA, Rio does not hide its poverty, the same that exists in USA an all other places of the modern world, but the movie focuses only in the slams and completely forgot places like Ipanema, Copacabana and hundreds of other. At least what you expect from a production team would be a minimal research about a foreign Country (like the good movie makers do) where you are shooting and not that grotesque and ignorant image that they did with our people and our city. I will not write about all incorrect history, culture, language and so on, because IÂ´m pretty sure that most of the people will watch these movie for the cars, but IÂ´d like to say that they offended Brazilian people hardly, mainly when Vin Diesel open his arms to say "This is not America, this is Brazil". And for the racing fans (like me) it is not a good movie, too. They did only two or three racing sequences that barely had the quality of the Fast and the Furious first movie. It is shame that there are people who give criticism on countries who they do not know. This movie has no value even for the fast...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I learned 3 things in this movie.

1) One car can not rip a bank fault out of concrete, but two can.
2) Having a strong relationship or not having a strong relationship with your father will still lead to a life of crime.
3) SWAT team members will not assist you when you're having a fight with Vin Diesel. Even if he's about to kill you. How did I get dragged to this movie, and how could they possibly allow this guy a running time of 2 hours & 10 minutes? Wait for the directors cut, where they actually cut 40 minutes from this movie.… Expand

The addition of The Rock is a huge plus but he isn't featured as much as I hoped he would. The premise is fine but the story is far from perfect. The villains often feel like an afterthought with how little they are featured. The movie also moves at a very slow pace in the second half and would have benefitted from cutting 10-15 minutes to quick things up a bit. Even at the halfway point of the franchise, you can tell things are getting crowded with the cast. They could have used far fewer people and been just as impactful. All in all, it's not even that it is a bad movie, it's the poorly done script that does it in.… Expand

Connard Johnson rejoint l’équipée des bras cassés en compagnie du blaireau Walker, de la petite conne brune et bien sûr de l’indéboulonnable Vincent Merdafioul Diesel !

D’ailleurs, comment un cave de ce genre peut-il « jouer » dans des gros navets à grosses bagnoles et gros moteurs avec un nom pareil ? serait-ce Fast and Furious TDI ou HDI Edition ? non, pas de merdes à fioul dans ces films (de merde) quand même ! mais bon, passons et d’ailleurs l’habituel gros con à la boule de billard est rejoint (et poursuivi) par le nouveau gros con à la boule de billard lui aussi : c’est la mode des gros cons aux gros bras mais crânez pas, vous êtes tous chauves, bande de gros cons !

Donc dans cette foire aux gros cons, on retrouve les cascades des gros cons qui font n’imp’ au gré d’un scénar de vieux nanar périmenaze mais avec des ordinateurs pour leur souffler dans le cul, ce qui accentue encore (évidemment) un peu plus tout le ridicule de ces prétendues cascades pour gros cons.

A part ça rien de nouveau, c’est toujours aussi con, Fast and Furious ! ils n’ont toujours pas inventé l’eau chaude ; ça reste souvent bien ramolli et même sans leurs bagnoles, ils ont toujours l’air con d’autant que la moindre « séquence » à pied, de baston ou de fusillade est très, très mal filmée : c’est cuté, zoomé et mové parce que ça plaît aux jeunes kévins (le public ciblé) quand la caméra bouge dans tous les sens et que le film entier ressemble à un clip MTV, accompagné d’une musique de merde, bien entendu.

Bref, impossible d’aller au bout de ce truc, même en mettant la télécommande en mode turbo, car même en avance rapide, figurez-vous que c’est toujours aussi con. Et chiant. Allez, FF5, direction la casse avec tes **** copains, comme d’habitude !… Expand
