Fast Five is the continuation of the story of Dominic Torretto (Vin Diesel) and his family, Mia Torretto (Jordana Brewster) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker). The movie begins where the last movie, Fast and Furious: New Model, Original Parts, ended. The movie begins with Dom’s escape from prison. Then the rest of the movie takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is where Vince (Matt Schulze) lives. A little flashback or reminder, Vince is like Dom’s brother, we haven’t seen him since the first, the original The Fast and The Furious. Anyway, there in Rio de Janeiro the whole gang or crew meets up with Dom, Brian, and Mia. Then there the crew comes across police or Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and his police crew, and they, also, come across a very or extremely powerful drug dealer, Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida). This makes matters even worse, because Reyes is the ruler of Rio de Janeiro.

Either way, so I would have to say that this is the best movie so far in the entire year, this year. Then again, the Fast and the Furious movies are always awesomeness. They never seem to disappoint me, except for one, which is the The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift one. These movies I would have to say are my all time favorite. Anyway, what I loved about this movie is practically everything. It kept me on my toes the entire time, and the special effects were amazing. It kept me on my toes, because I couldn’t predict what was gonna happen. There were many different and new events in the movie. Events that I would have never imagined. Then the cars were amazing as always and then the driving was perfect. Then the characters just keep getting better. I loved the fact that the writing of the movie added many new and old faces. The many new faces in the movie fitted extremely well in the whole plot. Then my most favorite thing of the movie was the message it sent. In between all the action and the thriller the movie sent a message, and the message was “that you should not judge a book by it’s.” This is portrayed by Dom and Hobbs, because there is a scene in the end where Dom shows Hobbs that even though he is demonstrated to be a criminal without limits, Dom shows him that he has a heart and that he is a human being with morals and values, through everything that he has done. Then there is the little humor that Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Leo (Tego Calderon), and Santos (Don Omar) give that I absolutely love and that just makes the movie so much better. All in all if you have not noticed yet these movies just absolutely amaze me and I could watch them millions of times and never get tired of them.

Therefore my rating for this action, crime, drama, thriller is: <3<3<3<3<3 for awesomeness.
